Frequently asked questions

Ceven treats Renderform as a headless design engine. When a workflow triggers, the agent identifies the correct template ID and maps your data to the specific layers defined in that template. For images, Ceven passes a public URL to Renderform, which then composites that image into the final render. The resulting image URL is then captured by Ceven and can be passed to any other tool in your stack, such as an email sender or a database. This means you never have to manually upload files to the design tool; you simply provide the data source and the agent handles the rendering and delivery process end to end.
Yes. Ceven can call the QR code generation endpoint to create unique codes for every single user in a workflow. For example, if you are running a direct mail campaign, Ceven can generate a unique QR code for each recipient that leads to a personalized landing page. The agent handles the URL encoding and passes the styling parameters to Renderform to ensure the code matches your brand colors. These codes are then embedded into larger image templates or sent as standalone files. This allows for precise tracking of offline to online conversions because every code is tied to a specific record in your CRM.
Ceven monitors the status of every render request. If Renderform returns an error, such as an invalid image URL or a timeout, the agent can be configured to retry the request or alert you via Slack. For high volume batches, Ceven logs each failure and provides a report of which records failed to render and why. You can then fix the source data in your CRM and tell the agent to rerun only the failed items. This ensures that no customer receives a broken image link or a blank asset in their communication, maintaining a professional look across all your automated marketing channels.
Renderform enforces rate limits based on your subscription tier. If you attempt to trigger thousands of renders in a few seconds, Renderform may return a 429 too many requests error. Ceven handles this by implementing an intelligent queuing system. Instead of flooding the API, the agent drips the requests at a pace that stays within your specific tier limits. If the queue becomes too large, the agent will notify you that rendering is delayed. It is important to check your Renderform plan to see your monthly credit limit, as exceeding your total monthly quota will cause all subsequent render requests to fail until the next cycle.
Mapping is done by matching the variable names in your Renderform template to the data fields in your workflow. When you create a template in Renderform, you name your text and image layers. In Ceven, you simply tell the agent which field from your source tool should go into which layer. For example, you might map the First Name field from Salesforce to the user name layer in Renderform. The agent handles the string interpolation and ensures the data is formatted correctly before sending the request. This makes it easy to swap templates without rebuilding your entire workflow logic.
Yes, the agent can manage your templates through the API. While most users design the visual layout in the Renderform editor, Ceven can update the default values for text or image layers. This is useful for seasonal updates, such as changing a background color or a promotional headline across multiple templates at once. You can tell the agent to find all templates tagged as winter and update the headline to spring sale. This prevents you from having to open every single template manually to make small text changes, keeping your design library up to date with minimal effort.
Ceven does not store the actual image files. Instead, it stores the reference URL provided by Renderform. The images are hosted on Renderform servers or your own configured storage provider. This ensures that your assets remain centralized and you do not have to manage duplicate files across different platforms. If you need the images stored permanently in your own S3 bucket, you can build a Ceven workflow that triggers after the render is complete, downloads the image from the Renderform URL, and uploads it to your own storage. This gives you full control over asset persistence and delivery.
No. Renderform is strictly an image and QR code generation tool. It cannot create video files or animations. If your workflow requires dynamic video, you would need to integrate a separate video automation tool alongside Renderform. Ceven can coordinate this by using Renderform for the static thumbnails and a different provider for the video content. The agent can then package both assets into a single delivery, such as an email containing a personalized thumbnail that links to a personalized video. This allows you to maintain a consistent visual identity across different media types using a multi tool workflow.
