Frequently asked questions

Ceven uses a verification step before calling the Create Link action. The agent first checks the existing content library for the specific URL to ensure you do not have the same article listed multiple times. If a match is found, the agent can be configured to either skip the entry entirely or update the existing metadata with new notes. This prevents your newsletter from looking repetitive and keeps your curation library clean. You can set the strictness of this check in your workflow settings, allowing the agent to ignore small differences in URL parameters like tracking codes so that the same page is not added twice.
Ceven manages the data layer for Goodbits, meaning it handles the curation of links and the management of your subscriber list. However, the final act of composing the newsletter layout and hitting the send button remains a human process within the Goodbits dashboard. This ensures that your editorial voice is preserved and that you have full control over the final product. The agent does the heavy lifting of gathering the best links and cleaning the list, but the creative direction and final sign off are kept in your hands to maintain the quality your readers expect.
Ceven follows your specific business logic for subscriber creation. When the agent triggers the Create Subscriber action, it assumes the opt in has already occurred via your front end form or third party tool. It is the responsibility of the workflow author to ensure that the trigger for this action is a confirmed opt in event. Ceven can be programmed to check for a confirmation flag in your CRM before pushing the email to Goodbits, ensuring that your list remains compliant with email marketing laws and that you only send content to users who have explicitly asked for it.
When Ceven calls the Delete Subscriber action, the record is removed from the active mailing list. If that same email address is later passed to the Create Subscriber action, Goodbits treats it as a new entry. This allows users who previously opted out to return to your list if they sign up again through a fresh opt in flow. The agent tracks these transitions in the workflow logs, so you can see the history of a specific email address moving between active and deleted states if you need to audit your audience growth or churn rates.
Yes, Goodbits imposes specific API rate limits on the number of requests you can make per minute. If a Ceven workflow attempts to push a massive library of hundreds of links in a single burst, you may encounter 429 rate limit errors. To handle this, Ceven implements an automatic retry logic with exponential backoff. The agent will pause for a few seconds and then attempt the request again until the limit resets. For very large imports, we recommend scheduling the workflow to run in smaller batches throughout the day to ensure a smooth sync without hitting these thresholds.
Currently, the Goodbits API focuses on a primary subscriber list and the general content library. Ceven can manage the status of these subscribers and the addition of links, but deep segmentation or tagging of subscribers within Goodbits is limited by the current API capabilities. If you need advanced segmentation, we recommend using Ceven to manage those tags in a CRM like HubSpot or Salesforce and then using the Update Subscriber Status action to add or remove people from the main Goodbits list based on those external segments.
When the agent attempts to use the Create Link action with a URL that Goodbits cannot resolve or scrape, the API returns an error. Ceven captures this error and can be configured to notify you via a Slack message or an email. Instead of the workflow simply failing, the agent can move the problematic link into a review queue for you to check manually. This ensures that your content library is not filled with broken links and that you are aware of any curation sources that are providing low quality or unreachable URLs.
Ceven stores your API credentials using industry standard encryption at rest. Your token is only used to authenticate requests to the Goodbits API on your behalf and is never exposed to the model or other users. You can rotate your API token at any time within the Goodbits settings and update it in the Ceven connection panel. Once you update the token, all active workflows will immediately begin using the new credential for future calls, ensuring that your connection remains secure and that you have full control over who can access your curation data.
