Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native Loomio integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right Loomio 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 Loomio data, across all 4 of its actions.

  2. Managed auth

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

  4. Enterprise grade security

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

Frequently asked questions

Ceven operates using the permissions of the connected user account. If the user does not have access to a private group or the right to close a poll, the agent will receive a forbidden error from the Loomio API. We do not bypass any group level security or administrative restrictions. The agent simply acts as a proxy for the user, meaning any action it takes is logged in the Loomio audit trail as being performed by that specific user account. This ensures that your governance rules remain intact and no unauthorized decisions are pushed through the workflow layer.
Yes. Ceven uses a combination of polling and webhook listeners to detect when a poll status changes to decided or closed. Once the status change is detected, the agent triggers the associated workflow, such as sending a summary to Slack or creating a ticket in Jira. You can configure the frequency of these checks based on your needs, though most users find the standard interval sufficient for governance workflows. This removes the need for a human to manually check if a vote has reached the required threshold for a decision.
If a poll is deleted within Loomio, Ceven will detect the missing resource during the next sync or when a workflow attempts to access that specific poll id. Depending on your settings, the agent can either mark the linked task as canceled in your project management tool or leave the historical record intact with a note that the source poll was removed. We recommend keeping the record for audit purposes, especially for non profit or government organizations that require a permanent trail of how a decision was reached.
Ceven is bound by the API rate limits set by Loomio. For very large organizations with thousands of active polls and frequent voting, you might encounter rate limiting if you run massive bulk exports. Loomio employs a fair use policy on their API to prevent system abuse. To mitigate this, Ceven implements an exponential backoff strategy, meaning if we hit a limit, the agent will wait and retry the request automatically. Most users never notice this happening as the agent manages the queue in the background.
Yes. The agent can pull every comment associated with a specific poll and pass them through a large language model to extract the main points of contention and the final consensus. Instead of reading through hundreds of comments, you can ask Ceven to give you a three bullet point summary of why a proposal was rejected or what the main concerns were. This is particularly useful for stakeholders who join a discussion late and need to get up to speed quickly without scrolling through the entire history.
Ceven supports the standard voting mechanisms provided by the Loomio API, including agree, disagree, and abstain. However, some highly customized or experimental voting plugins may not expose their data via the API. If you use a specialized voting logic that is not part of the core Loomio offering, the agent will see the final result but may not be able to break down the individual vote weights. We recommend using standard poll types for the most reliable automation and data mapping between systems.
Connection is handled through a secure authorization process where you grant Ceven access to your Loomio account. We use encrypted tokens to communicate with the Loomio API, ensuring that your credentials are never stored in plain text. You can revoke this access at any time through your Loomio account settings or within the Ceven dashboard. Once revoked, all active workflows relying on that connection will pause until access is restored, ensuring that no data continues to flow after you have decided to disconnect the service.
Yes, provided the connected account has the necessary administrative permissions to create groups. This is useful for automating the setup of new project teams. For example, when a new project is kicked off in your CRM, Ceven can automatically create a corresponding Loomio group, invite the relevant stakeholders, and post an initial welcome message with a link to the project charter. This ensures that every new initiative has a dedicated space for collaborative decision making from day one without manual setup.
