Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native Mapulus integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right Mapulus 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 Mapulus data, across all 3 of its actions.

  2. Managed auth

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

  4. Enterprise grade security

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

Push a new set of coordinates and metadata into Mapulus to mark a new physical site.
Update Location
Modify the properties or coordinates of an existing location when a site moves or changes status.
Delete Location
Remove a location from the system when a site is permanently closed.
Add Location to Map

Frequently asked questions

Ceven manages Mapulus pagination automatically by tracking the cursor or page token returned in the API response. When you ask to list all locations or maps, the agent does not just pull the first page of results. It continues to make sequential requests to the Mapulus endpoint until every record matching your filter is retrieved. This ensures that your reports and syncs are complete. If you have a massive dataset with tens of thousands of points, the agent will process these in the background and notify you once the full list is indexed in the workflow context for further analysis.
Yes. You can set up a workflow where an event in another tool, such as a new row in a Google Sheet or a status change in Salesforce, triggers a Mapulus action. For example, when a project status changes to active, Ceven can use the Create Location action to add the project site to Mapulus and then use the Add Location to Map action to place it on the regional project map. This eliminates the need to manually enter coordinates and ensures your maps are always reflecting the current state of your operations.
Mapulus enforces a strict rate limit on their API based on your subscription tier, which can lead to 429 errors if too many requests are sent in a short window. Ceven handles this by implementing an exponential backoff strategy. If the agent hits a rate limit, it will pause and retry the request after a short delay. However, for very large bulk imports of locations, we recommend scheduling these as background tasks during off peak hours to avoid interrupting your real time workflow triggers and to ensure the fastest possible processing speed.
Ceven can read and write to the custom metadata fields provided by Mapulus. When you use the Update Location or Create Location actions, you can pass specific key value pairs that Mapulus uses to categorize or filter points on the map. This is particularly useful for logistics teams who need to tag locations by priority, site type, or assigned technician. The agent can pull these attributes during a search to filter locations before performing a downstream action, such as sending a notification to the person assigned to that specific site.
Ceven uses a secure token based authentication flow for Mapulus. When you connect your account, you provide the necessary API credentials which are stored encrypted at rest. These credentials are never exposed to the model or the end user in plain text. The agent uses these tokens to sign every request sent to the Mapulus API. You can rotate your API keys in the Mapulus dashboard at any time, and you will simply need to update the connection in the Ceven settings to restore service to your active workflows.
Yes. Using the Create Map action, Ceven can provision separate map entities for different regions, teams, or projects. You can build a workflow that automatically creates a new Mapulus map whenever a new regional territory is defined in your business planning tool. Once the map is created, the agent can then iterate through a list of existing locations and assign them to the correct regional map based on their geographic coordinates or assigned region attribute, ensuring a clean and organized map hierarchy.
Absolutely. Ceven distinguishes between deleting a location record and removing it from a specific map. If you use the Remove Location from Map action, the location data remains in your Mapulus account and can be added to other maps or retrieved via search. This is the recommended path for seasonal sites or temporary project locations that you may need to reactivate in the future. Only use the Delete Location action if the site is permanently gone and you no longer need the historical metadata associated with that point.
While Ceven can process thousands of locations, the primary constraint is the Mapulus API response time and your specific plan limits. For extremely large datasets, we suggest using filtered searches rather than listing all locations. By querying for locations updated within a specific window, Ceven can maintain a high performance sync without hitting timeout limits. If you find your workflows are slowing down, you can optimize them by using the Find Location by External ID action to update only the specific records that have changed in your source system.
