Frequently asked questions

Ceven adheres to the same privacy first principles as Simple Analytics. Because the source tool does not collect personal data or use cookies, the data that flows into Ceven is already anonymized. The agent only processes aggregated metrics or raw data points that do not contain personally identifiable information. We do not attempt to re identify users or combine this data with third party tracking pixels. Your workflows remain compliant with GDPR and CCPA because the underlying data stream is designed to be privacy centric from the start. No user fingerprints or IP addresses are stored within the Ceven workflow memory.
Yes. The agent can trigger the export of raw data points for a specific website and time range. Once the data is retrieved, Ceven can parse the resulting set to find specific patterns, such as the exact time of day traffic peaks or the most common path users take through your site. You can set up a weekly workflow where the agent pulls this raw data every Monday morning, summarizes the key findings, and posts a bulleted list of the top three growing pages into a Slack channel or an email to your team.
Ceven is subject to the API rate limits set by Simple Analytics. If you have a massive site with millions of hits, requesting raw data exports for very wide time ranges may result in a rate limit error from the vendor. To avoid this, we recommend breaking your requests into smaller chunks, such as daily or weekly intervals. The agent is designed to handle these limits by implementing a retry logic with exponential backoff, but for extremely large datasets, you may notice a slight delay in the completion of the workflow as the agent paces the requests.
The integration provides access to the most recent data available via the Simple Analytics API. While it is not a live socket stream, the aggregated stats are updated frequently. You can build a workflow that polls the API every few minutes to monitor for sudden spikes in traffic, which is useful for tracking the impact of a social media mention or a product launch. The agent can compare the current hour of traffic against the average for that hour over the last seven days to determine if a spike is statistically significant.
The current integration focuses primarily on data retrieval and reporting. The agent can list your websites and pull detailed statistics, but it cannot change your subscription plan, update your billing information, or delete websites from your account. These actions must be performed directly within the Simple Analytics dashboard for security reasons. This ensures that critical account changes require a human in the loop and cannot be triggered accidentally by an automated workflow or a prompt error.
Ceven uses the List Websites action to identify every site associated with your account. You can instruct the agent to run a report for all your sites at once or target a specific one by name. For example, you can ask the agent to find which of your five blogs had the highest growth this month. The agent will iterate through the list of website IDs, pull the aggregated stats for each, and then perform the comparison logic to give you a ranked list of your best performing properties.
Absolutely. Because Simple Analytics data is pulled into the Ceven workflow layer, it can be used as a trigger for any other connected tool. You could set up a workflow where a 20 percent increase in traffic from a specific referral source triggers a thank you email to that partner via Gmail. Or, if the bounce rate on a critical landing page exceeds a certain threshold, the agent can automatically create a ticket in Jira for the UX team to investigate the page performance.
If a website is deleted from your Simple Analytics account, any workflow that relies on that specific website ID will return an error. The agent will notify you that the site could not be found. To fix this, you can simply update the workflow to point to a different site ID or remove the step from the sequence. Since Ceven does not mirror the full database of Simple Analytics but rather queries it on demand, there is no stale data to clean up in the Ceven platform itself.
