Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native Klipfolio integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right Klipfolio 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 Klipfolio data, across all 50 of its actions.

  2. Managed auth

    • Built in OAuth with automatic token refresh and rotation.
    • One place to manage, scope, and revoke Klipfolio 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 Klipfolio, when, and on whose behalf.
    • The agent pauses and asks when Klipfolio is unclear instead of plowing ahead.

  4. Enterprise grade security

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

Pull the properties, settings, and metadata for a specific dashboard tab.
Get data source details
Retrieve the current state and data of a specific data source instance in JSON or CSV format.
Get Klips
Pull a list of all visualization components accessible to the user to audit which charts are active.
Get user profile
Verify API connectivity and check account permissions by pulling the authenticated user profile.
List all data sources
Retrieve a full list of data sources associated with the account, with options for pagination and filtering.
Refresh multiple sources
Queue several data sources for a simultaneous refresh to ensure all dashboard Klips are in sync.
Update data source
Completely replace the existing data in a data source with a new dataset.
Search data sources
Find a specific data source by name or ID to use in a downstream update workflow.
Append Data to Data Source
This tool appends plain text or csv data to an existing data source in klipfolio. it requires two parameters: 'data' which contains the data in plain text or csv format, and 'data source id' which specifies the target data source.
Create Tab (Dashboard)
This tool creates a new tab (dashboard) in klipfolio. a tab serves as a container for organizing and displaying klips (data visualizations) in a meaningful way. the tool allows users to set up a new dashboard with specific properties and co
Get Data Source Instance Details
This tool retrieves detailed information about a specific data source instance in klipfolio. it can return data in either json or csv format depending on the data source type.
Refresh Multiple Data Sources

Frequently asked questions

Ceven uses two primary methods to keep your dashboards current. The append action allows the agent to add new data points to the end of an existing source, which is ideal for time series data or event logs. The update action performs a full overwrite, which is better for snapshots or current state reporting. The agent determines which to use based on your workflow trigger. If you are syncing a daily sales total, it will use the update action. If you are tracking every single new lead, it will use the append action to maintain a historical record within the Klipfolio environment.
Ceven manages the data layer and the container layer. It can create the data sources and the dashboard tabs where the charts live, but the visual configuration of a Klip, such as the specific color of a bar chart or the axis scaling, is handled within the Klipfolio UI. Once the agent has pushed the data and created the tab, you simply drag and drop the desired Klip onto that tab. This ensures that your brand guidelines and visual preferences are maintained while the agent handles the tedious work of data plumbing and source management.
Klipfolio enforces specific rate limits and refresh intervals based on your subscription tier. If Ceven attempts to trigger a refresh more frequently than your plan allows, Klipfolio will return a rate limit error. Ceven handles this by implementing an exponential backoff strategy, queuing the request and retrying once the window resets. To avoid this, we recommend scheduling your agent workflows to align with your plan limits. For example, if your tier only allows hourly refreshes, setting a Ceven workflow to run every five minutes will result in skipped updates.
Ceven connects using the Klipfolio API key provided in your account settings. This key is stored using AES 256 encryption at rest and is never exposed to the model or the end user in plain text. When a workflow runs, the agent injects the key into the request header to authorize the call. You can rotate your API key in the Klipfolio dashboard at any time, which will temporarily pause your Ceven workflows until you update the key in the Ceven integration settings. This ensures you have total control over access.
Yes. By connecting two different Klipfolio accounts to Ceven, you can build a migration workflow. The agent can list all data sources in the source account, pull the data using the get data source instance tool, and then create corresponding data sources and append the data into the destination account. This is particularly useful for agencies moving clients from a master account to a dedicated account or for companies consolidating multiple regional reporting accounts into one central corporate dashboard without doing manual exports.
The limit is determined by the Klipfolio API payload size and the format of the data. When appending CSV or plain text, it is best to send data in batches of a few thousand rows to avoid timeout errors or payload rejection. Ceven automatically chunks large datasets into smaller batches before sending them to the append endpoint. This prevents the workflow from failing on large imports and ensures that the data is processed reliably. If you have millions of rows, we suggest using a data warehouse connector instead of the API.
Ceven can act as a monitoring layer by periodically calling the get data source instance tool. The agent can be programmed to check for null values, unexpected zeros, or data that has not changed in several days. If the agent detects a stale data source or a formatting error that would break a Klip, it can send an alert to Slack or create a ticket in Jira. This transforms your BI from a passive display into a self healing system where data gaps are caught before the executive team notices them.
Ceven primarily interacts with the data source API, which means it can manage any source that Klipfolio allows you to write to via API. While Klipfolio has many read only connectors for third party apps, Ceven is most powerful when used with custom data sources where the agent acts as the bridge. For example, if you have data in a legacy system without a native Klipfolio connector, Ceven can pull that data and push it into a Klipfolio data source, effectively creating a custom connector for any tool with an API.
