Frequently asked questions

Ceven uses a secure token based system to interact with your Parma account. When you first connect the integration, you provide your credentials through a secure portal which allows Ceven to request an access token. This token is stored in an encrypted vault and is only used to make authorized API calls on your behalf. We never share this token with other users or third party services. You can revoke access instantly through your Parma security settings, which kills the token and stops all agent activity immediately. This ensures that your relationship data remains private and under your total control at all times.
Ceven cannot send emails directly from the Parma interface because Parma is a relationship record system rather than an email client. However, the agent can monitor your Parma interaction logs and trigger a workflow in your email tool. For example, if a contact is marked as needing a follow up in Parma, Ceven can draft a personalized email in Gmail or Outlook based on the notes in Parma and place it in your drafts folder. You simply review the draft and hit send, combining the data richness of Parma with the communication power of your preferred email provider.
Ceven can process your entire Parma library, but you should be aware of the Parma API rate limits. Parma restricts the number of requests per minute depending on your account tier. If you have a massive network with tens of thousands of contacts, Ceven implements an intelligent queuing system. This means the agent will pace the data retrieval to avoid hitting the rate limit which would cause the integration to pause. For most users, this happens invisibly in the background, but for very large datasets, you might notice a slight delay during the initial full network sync.
Yes, Ceven acts as a bridge between your other data sources and Parma. You can create a workflow that watches a Google Sheet, a LinkedIn export, or a CRM like HubSpot. When a new lead appears in those systems, Ceven parses the information and uses the Parma create contact action to add them to your network. You can even instruct the agent to categorize them into specific Parma datasets based on the source of the lead, ensuring your relationship management stays organized without any manual data entry or CSV uploads.
The agent periodically scans your Parma interaction history for a set of contacts you define as high priority. It looks at the timestamp of the last logged interaction. If the gap between today and that last date exceeds your preferred window, such as thirty or sixty days, the agent triggers a notification. It can then search for recent news about that person and present you with a summary and a suggested talking point. This prevents valuable relationships from fading away simply because you forgot to check a specific list in your CRM.
Ceven can read and write to the standard fields provided by the Parma API. If you have custom metadata stored within your Parma datasets, the agent can access this information through the dataset metadata calls. When updating a contact, you can pass custom attributes that Parma supports. If you add a new custom field in Parma, you may need to refresh the integration connection in Ceven so the agent can map the new field to its internal understanding of your contact schema and start using it in workflows.
Ceven can identify potential duplicates by searching for matching email addresses or names across your Parma datasets. Once the agent finds a likely match, it can notify you and present the data from both records. While the agent can delete one record and update the other to merge the notes, we recommend a human in the loop for this process to ensure no critical relationship context is lost. You can set up a workflow where the agent flags duplicates for your review every Friday morning.
If the authentication token expires or is revoked, any active Ceven workflows involving Parma will enter a paused state. You will receive an immediate notification in the Ceven dashboard stating that the Parma connection requires reauthorization. Once you click the reconnect button and authenticate again, the agent will resume all pending tasks. Because Ceven tracks the state of your workflows, it knows exactly where it left off and will process any missed updates or alerts in the order they were triggered.
