Frequently asked questions

Ceven manages long running conversions by using an asynchronous polling pattern. When the agent triggers a complex task like converting a large website to PDF, Conversion Tools returns a task ID rather than the file itself. The agent then enters a wait state and periodically checks the status of that task ID. Once the service marks the task as complete, the agent automatically calls the download tool to retrieve the final document. This ensures the workflow does not time out while the remote server processes heavy files, allowing your automation to run in the background until the result is ready for the next step.
Yes. Most Conversion Tools actions allow you to provide either a file ID or a public URL. If your document is already hosted on a public cloud storage link or a company server, the agent can pass that URL directly to the conversion engine. This skips the upload step and reduces the amount of data transferred between your local environment and Ceven. However, if the file is behind a login wall or a private firewall, you must use the upload tool first to send the file to the service so the conversion engine can access the binary data directly.
When Conversion Tools encounters a corrupt file or an unsupported version, it returns a specific error code and message. Ceven catches these errors and reports them back to the workflow logs. Instead of crashing the entire automation, the agent can be configured to flag the specific file for human review or move it to an error folder. You can set up a conditional path in your workflow so that if a conversion fails, the agent sends a notification to the owner of the document requesting a clean copy before attempting the process again.
Yes. Conversion Tools imposes strict file size limits based on your current subscription tier. For example, free or lower tier accounts may be limited to files under 50MB, while enterprise accounts have much higher thresholds. If you attempt to convert a file that exceeds your plan limit, the API will return a 413 Payload Too Large error. Ceven will surface this error in the agent logs. If you frequently hit these limits, you will need to upgrade your account directly through the Conversion Tools dashboard to increase the maximum allowed file size per request.
Standard OCR simply recognizes characters on a page and returns a block of text. The AI powered JPG to JSON tool uses a large language model to understand the context of the image. Instead of just seeing text, it identifies fields like invoice numbers, dates, and line items, and maps them into a structured JSON object. This means the agent can take a photo of a receipt and immediately know which value is the tax and which is the total, rather than forcing you to write complex regular expressions to find the data within a raw text string.
Ceven does not act as a permanent storage layer for your converted files. Once the agent downloads the result from Conversion Tools, it typically passes that file to your designated destination, such as Google Drive, SharePoint, or an S3 bucket. Conversion Tools also deletes files from their temporary cache after a short period for security reasons. To ensure you do not lose your data, always design your workflow to move the final output from the download action into a permanent storage system immediately after the conversion is complete.
Yes. When using the website to PNG tool, you can specify the viewport dimensions. This allows the agent to capture how a page looks on a mobile device versus a desktop monitor. By adjusting the width and height parameters in the action call, you can create a set of snapshots for the same URL to perform visual regression testing or to document the responsive design of a site. The agent handles these parameters as part of the request, ensuring the output image matches the exact dimensions required for your reporting or archival needs.
