Frequently asked questions

Ceven implements a check before calling the Create Collected Link action to prevent the same URL from appearing multiple times in your collection. The agent first pulls the existing links for that publication and compares the new URL against the stored list. If a match is found, the agent will update the existing entry with new notes or skip the action entirely based on your workflow settings. This ensures your newsletter remains professional and free of redundant content. You can configure the agent to notify you when a duplicate is found or let it handle the deduplication silently in the background to keep your curation pipeline clean and efficient.
Ceven focuses on the preparation phase by utilizing the Create Draft Issue action. This means the agent handles the heavy lifting of gathering links and organizing the layout, but it stops at the draft stage. This is a deliberate design choice to ensure a human editor always provides the final sign off before content reaches subscribers. Once the agent creates the draft, you can receive a notification in Slack or email to review the content. After your approval, you can trigger the final send through the Curated dashboard. This hybrid approach combines the speed of AI gathering with the quality control of human curation.
If a workflow requires a publication id that is not provided in the prompt, Ceven will automatically trigger the List Publications action. The agent parses the returned list of publications and matches the name mentioned in your request to the corresponding id. If multiple publications have similar names, the agent will pause and ask you to clarify which one should be used. This prevents content from being posted to the wrong newsletter and removes the need for you to manually copy and paste long alphanumeric ids into your prompts, making the interaction feel natural and intuitive.
Yes, Curated imposes specific rate limits on the number of API calls allowed per minute depending on your account tier. If a Ceven workflow attempts to bulk upload hundreds of links at once, you may encounter a 429 rate limit error. To handle this, Ceven implements an automatic retry logic with exponential backoff, meaning the agent will pause and try again after a short delay. For very large data migrations or massive link imports, we recommend scheduling the workflow to run in smaller batches over several hours to ensure a smooth sync without hitting the hard limits of the Curated API infrastructure.
Ceven can pull subscriber lists for any publication you have access to using the List Email Subscribers tool. You can build workflows that compare subscriber lists across different newsletters to find common users or identify growth trends. For example, you can ask the agent to find subscribers who are signed up for your weekly tech brief but not your monthly deep dive. While the current API focuses on reading subscriber lists, you can use this data to trigger external actions in other tools like Salesforce or HubSpot to personalize your marketing reach based on which Curated newsletters they enjoy.
When you ask Ceven to add a link to a category, the agent first calls List Categories to see what exists. If the category you mentioned exactly matches an existing one, the agent uses that id. If the category is new or slightly different, the agent will check your workflow instructions to see if it should create a new category or map it to the closest existing match. This prevents the creation of redundant categories like Tech and Technology. You can define a strict mapping schema in your agent settings to ensure that every link is filed exactly where it belongs every time.
Ceven can use the List Issues action to identify old content and help you organize your archives. While the Curated API has specific ways of handling issue visibility, Ceven can track which issues have been sent and move the associated links into a permanent archive category. This keeps your active curation workspace clean while preserving the history of your publication. You can set up a monthly workflow that reviews all issues from the previous month and generates a summary report of the most popular links, which can then be used to create a best of the month special edition newsletter.
Ceven supports multiple integrations if you have different API keys for different accounts. You can name these connections specifically, such as Work Curated and Personal Curated. When you give a command, you can specify which account to use, or the agent can infer it based on the publication name. If you ask to list publications, Ceven will query all connected accounts and present a unified view, clearly labeling which publication belongs to which account. This makes it easy to manage a portfolio of newsletters for different clients or brands from a single AI interface without switching contexts.
