Frequently asked questions

Ceven connects to the Beaconstac analytics endpoints to pull both period and product overviews. The agent can be scheduled to fetch impression and conversion data at set intervals, which it then pushes into your reporting tool of choice. Because the agent can interpret the conversion percentage, it can trigger a workflow to alert your team if a specific QR code is underperforming compared to the account average. This means you no longer have to log into the dashboard to see which physical locations are driving the most traffic, as the agent summarizes the data and delivers it to your Slack or email.
Yes. Ceven uses the List Organizations action to identify all entities accessible to your authenticated account. Once the agent has the list, you can tell it to perform actions like creating tags or updating QR codes for a specific organization ID. This is particularly useful for agencies managing multiple clients. You can build a single workflow that iterates through every organization and updates a seasonal promotion URL across all their respective QR codes, ensuring that no single client is left with an outdated link while you avoid manual repetition.
The number of QR codes Ceven can create is governed by your specific Beaconstac subscription tier rather than a limitation within Ceven itself. If you are on a plan with a hard cap on the number of active codes, the Beaconstac API will return an error once that limit is reached. Ceven handles these errors gracefully by notifying the workflow author that the account quota has been exceeded. To avoid this, you can set up a cleanup workflow that uses the Delete QR Code action to remove old or expired assets before creating new ones.
Ceven manages location data through the Create Place and Update Place actions. When you provide an address or coordinates, the agent registers that physical spot within your Beaconstac account. This allows you to tie specific QR codes or beacons to a precise geographic point. If a store moves or an address changes, you can simply tell the agent to update the place by ID, and all associated assets will be correctly mapped to the new location without you having to manually reassign each single QR code or beacon in the dashboard.
Yes, provided you are on a reseller plan or an enterprise tier that supports user management. The agent can use the Create User action to provision new team members and assign them to the correct organization. This is often paired with a workflow that triggers when a new employee is added to your HR system. The agent creates the Beaconstac user and then sends them their login details via email, ensuring that your field marketing teams have immediate access to the tools they need to manage local assets without admin intervention.
If the agent attempts to call the Update QR Code action on an ID that has been deleted, Beaconstac returns a 404 not found error. Ceven is programmed to catch this specific API response and can be configured to take a fallback action. For example, you can design the workflow so that if a code is not found, the agent automatically creates a new QR code using the latest template and notifies the store manager that a new asset has been generated to replace the missing one.
Beaconstac implements rate limits on their API to ensure platform stability. If a Ceven workflow attempts to perform thousands of updates in a very short window, you may encounter a 429 too many requests error. Ceven manages this by implementing an exponential backoff strategy, meaning it will automatically pause and retry the request after a short delay. For extremely large bulk operations, it is recommended to spread the workflow execution over several hours to stay within the API limits of your specific Beaconstac plan and avoid any temporary service interruptions.
The agent uses the Create QR Template and List QR Templates actions to ensure brand consistency. Instead of defining colors, logos, and frames every time a code is made, you can tell the agent to use a specific template ID. When a new campaign launches, the agent pulls the approved template for that season and applies it to all new codes. If the brand guidelines change, you can update the template once, and the agent can then iterate through all active codes to apply the updated visual style across the entire organization.
