Frequently asked questions

Ceven utilizes the batch entries endpoint to ensure efficiency and stability. Instead of sending individual requests for every single data point, which would trigger rate limits, the agent aggregates up to 5000 entries into a single payload. This is ideal for companies syncing daily metrics from a data warehouse or a large spreadsheet. The agent validates the kpi id and date format for every entry before transmission to prevent partial upload failures. If a batch is too large, Ceven automatically splits the data into multiple chunks and processes them sequentially until the entire dataset is mirrored in your Simplekpi dashboard.
Yes. The agent can create KPI categories, units and the KPIs themselves based on a predefined template or a natural language request. For example, if you launch a new product line, you can tell Ceven to create a matching set of performance indicators in Simplekpi. The agent will first check for existing categories to avoid duplicates and then provision the KPIs with the correct frequency and units. It can also assign these new metrics to the relevant user groups and set initial baseline targets based on historical data from similar products in your account.
When pulling data via the list entries tool, Simplekpi limits the response to 500 entries per page. To handle larger datasets, Ceven implements an automatic pagination loop. The agent tracks the pagination cursor and continues making requests until it has gathered all the requested data for your specified date range. However, for extremely large datasets, the get all data entries tool is preferred as it can return up to 10,000 processed entries in one go. This ensures that your executive reports are based on the full dataset rather than just the most recent window.
Ceven interacts with the user and group management tools to keep your Simplekpi access in sync with your primary directory. The agent can create new users, assign them to specific groups, and link individual KPIs to their profiles. This is particularly useful for onboarding new employees. Instead of manually configuring each profile, you can trigger a workflow that assigns the standard set of KPIs for that role. The agent handles the group item assignments and target settings, ensuring that every user sees only the data they are authorized to view from day one.
Yes, Simplekpi enforces specific rate limits on their API to ensure platform stability. If a workflow attempts to make too many requests in a short window, the API will return a rate limit error. Ceven handles this by implementing an exponential backoff strategy. When the agent detects a limit has been reached, it pauses for a few seconds before retrying the request. To minimize these occurrences, we strongly recommend using the batch entries tool for all data uploads rather than individual create calls, as this significantly reduces the number of API hits required to update your dashboards.
Ceven can perform complex calculations before pushing data to Simplekpi. While Simplekpi handles the visualization and some internal tracking, Ceven acts as the logic layer. The agent can pull raw numbers from multiple sources, apply a formula such as calculating the ratio of leads to closed deals, and then push the final resulting percentage as a KPI entry. This allows you to track sophisticated metrics that require data from tools that do not talk to each other. The agent ensures the final value is formatted correctly for the specific KPI unit defined in your account.
The agent employs a strict validation and retry mechanism. Before any data is sent to Simplekpi, Ceven verifies that the target KPI ID exists and that the date format matches the required standard. If the API returns an error, such as an invalid unit or a missing required field, the agent logs the specific entry that failed and notifies the administrator via your chosen channel. For transient network errors, the agent will retry the request three times. This ensures that your performance dashboards remain accurate and that gaps in your data are identified and fixed immediately.
Absolutely. The agent has full access to the delete tools for KPIs, categories, and entries. You can set up a quarterly maintenance workflow where Ceven identifies KPIs that have not received data updates in over ninety days and flags them for removal. Once you approve the list, the agent can permanently delete the obsolete KPIs and their associated categories to keep your dashboard clean. It can also remove users who are no longer active in your primary system, ensuring that your Simplekpi license count remains optimized and your data remains secure.
