Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native Keen.io integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right Keen.io calls, fills the parameters, and checks the result.
    • Structured, agent friendly tool schemas so each call runs reliably instead of by guesswork.
    • Rich coverage for reading, writing, and querying your Keen.io data, across all 6 of its actions.

  2. Managed auth

    • Built in OAuth with automatic token refresh and rotation.
    • One place to manage, scope, and revoke Keen.io access.
    • Per user and per environment credentials instead of shared keys.

  3. Agent optimized design

    • Actions are tuned from real success and error rates so reliability climbs over time.
    • Full execution logs so you always know what ran in Keen.io, when, and on whose behalf.
    • The agent pauses and asks when Keen.io is unclear instead of plowing ahead.

  4. Enterprise grade security

    • Fine grained access so you control which agents and people can reach Keen.io.
    • Least privilege by default, read scopes first and only the writes a workflow needs.
    • A full audit trail of every Keen.io action to support review and sign off.

Frequently asked questions

Ceven uses the Inspect All Event Collections action to periodically audit your project schema. When a new property is inferred by Keen.io, the agent detects the change in the property list and updates the mapping in your workflow. This prevents breaks in your automation when developers add new event properties to the stream. If a property type changes, such as a string becoming a number, Ceven flags the inconsistency and asks for a manual mapping confirmation to ensure that downstream calculations in your finance or marketing tools remain accurate and do not produce errors during the data transfer process.
Yes. By combining the Select Unique and cached dataset tools, Ceven can monitor for specific thresholds in your event data. You can set up a workflow where the agent polls a specific collection every hour. If the count of unique users performing a specific action exceeds your defined limit, Ceven triggers a downstream action like sending a Slack alert or creating a Jira ticket. This turns your analytics from a reporting tool into a real time alerting system that notifies your team the moment a product feature goes viral or a critical error starts impacting a large group of users.
Ceven is designed to respect the rate limits imposed by your specific Keen.io plan. One quirk of the Keen.io API is that high frequency polling of large event collections can lead to 429 Too Many Requests errors if you are on a lower tier. To mitigate this, Ceven implements an exponential backoff strategy and leverages cached dataset definitions whenever possible. We recommend using the cached dataset tools for high volume reporting workflows rather than hitting the raw event collections repeatedly. If the agent hits a hard limit, it will pause the workflow and notify you of the cooldown period before resuming the data pull.
Ceven stores your Keen.io API keys in an encrypted vault. We never expose these keys to the large language model or to other users of your workspace. The agent uses these keys to authenticate requests on your behalf. If you need to rotate your keys for security reasons, you can update them in the Ceven connection settings. If a key is accidentally revoked in the Keen.io dashboard, the agent can use the Unrevoke Access Key action if the current authenticated user has the necessary administrative permissions to restore access and resume the data pipeline.
Keen.io uses a schema on write approach, meaning collections are created automatically when the first event is sent to that collection name. While Ceven does not have a specific Create Collection button, it can facilitate the creation process by sending a test event via the API. Once the event is received by Keen.io, the collection is instantiated. The agent then uses the Inspect Single Event Collection tool to verify that the properties were inferred correctly and that the collection is ready to receive production data for your analytics workflows.
The Select Unique action allows Ceven to pull a list of every distinct value for a specific property, such as a user email or a device ID, within a given time window. This is critical for building operational lists. For example, you can ask the agent to find all unique users who triggered a sign up event but did not trigger a purchase event in the last three days. Ceven pulls this list from Keen.io and then pipes those specific IDs into another tool, like an email marketing platform, to send a targeted nudge to those specific users.
Ceven can retrieve historical data by utilizing the timeframe constraints available in the Keen.io API. When you first connect your account, you can run a one time workflow to pull historical aggregates or unique user lists for a specific date range. The agent handles the pagination and cursor management required to fetch large sets of historical data. However, be mindful that very large historical queries can be slow and may be subject to the timeout limits of the Keen.io API, so we recommend breaking large backfills into smaller monthly or weekly chunks.
Keen.io automatically infers the data type of a property based on the first few events it receives. Ceven uses the Inspect Collection Property tool to read these inferred types. If Keen.io incorrectly infers a property as a string when it should be a number, the agent can detect this by comparing the data against your expected schema. While Ceven cannot change the inferred type inside Keen.io, it can apply a transformation layer in the workflow to cast the data to the correct type before it is sent to your destination system, ensuring data quality.
