Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native Softr integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right Softr 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 Softr data, across all 21 of its actions.

  2. Managed auth

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

  4. Enterprise grade security

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

Get Database
Tool to retrieve details for a specific database by ID. Use when you need to fetch information about a particular database in Softr.
Get records from table
Tool to retrieve a paginated list of records from a Softr table. Use when you need to fetch records from a specific table with optional pagination parameters.
Get Table
Tool to retrieve details for a specific table by ID. Use when you need to inspect table structure, fields, or metadata.
Get Table Field
Tool to retrieve a specific field from a Softr table by field ID. Use when you need detailed configuration information about a table field, including its type, options, and metadata.
Get Tables
Retrieves all tables within a specified Softr database. Use when you need to list or explore the tables available in a database.
Get Table Views
Tool to retrieve all views for a specified table in a Softr database. Use when you need to list or inspect available views for a table.
Update Database
Tool to update an existing database's name and/or description. Use when you need to modify database metadata after creation.
Update a record
Tool to update an existing record's field values in a Softr table. Use when you need to modify specific fields of a record by providing the database ID, table ID, record ID, and the new field values.

Frequently asked questions

Ceven operates using the permissions associated with the API key or OAuth token you provide during the connection process. If the connected account has administrative access to the Softr workspace, the agent can create tables, delete records, and modify fields. However, the agent respects the underlying Softr data source constraints. If your Softr app is connected to Airtable, the agent interacts with the Softr API layer which then communicates with the source. You can restrict what the agent does by creating specific workflow boundaries in Ceven, ensuring it only touches certain tables or records based on the logic you define in your automation steps.
Yes, the agent can use the Create Table Field action to expand your data model on the fly. This is particularly useful when you are importing data from a source with a dynamic schema. For example, if a new lead form adds a custom question, Ceven can detect the new field and create a matching column in your Softr table so the data has a place to land. It will handle the field type selection based on the data format. You can review these changes in your Softr dashboard immediately after the workflow runs to ensure the field labels and types match your portal design.
Deleting records via the Ceven integration is permanent and cannot be undone through the API. When the agent calls the Delete Record action, the data is removed from the Softr database immediately. For tables, Softr requires that the table be completely empty before it can be deleted unless the force parameter is explicitly set to true. We recommend building a safety check into your Ceven workflow, such as a confirmation step or a backup record creation in a separate archive table, before triggering a delete action to prevent accidental loss of critical business data.
Yes, Ceven is designed to handle large datasets by using Softr pagination. When you ask the agent to list records or search through a table, it does not try to pull every single row in one request, which would cause a timeout. Instead, it requests data in chunks using the pagination parameters provided by the Softr API. If your prompt requires an analysis of all records, the agent will automatically iterate through the pages, collecting the results in the background before presenting the final answer or performing the bulk update. This ensures stability even for accounts with thousands of records.
Yes, Softr imposes API rate limits that vary depending on your subscription tier. If a Ceven workflow attempts to update thousands of records in a very short window, you may encounter a 429 Too Many Requests error. To mitigate this, Ceven implements an intelligent retry logic with exponential backoff. This means the agent will pause and wait before trying the request again. For extremely high volume migrations, we recommend scheduling your workflows to run in smaller batches or contacting Softr support to discuss increasing your API limits to accommodate the increased automation load.
No, the current integration focuses exclusively on the data and schema layer. Ceven can manage your databases, tables, records, and fields, but it cannot change the CSS, layout, colors, or block configurations of your Softr pages. The agent manages the content that flows into the blocks, not the blocks themselves. If you need to change how a list block looks, you must do that manually in the Softr studio. Once the visual block is mapped to a table, Ceven can then take over the task of ensuring that table is always populated with the correct and most recent data.
When updating a table field, the Softr API has a specific requirement where both the type and options fields must be provided in the request, even if you are only changing the name of the field. Ceven handles this complexity for you by first performing a read operation to fetch the current configuration of the field. The agent then merges your requested changes with the existing settings and sends the full payload back to Softr. This prevents the accidental resetting of field options or types that would occur if a simple partial update were attempted through a standard API call.
Absolutely. Because Ceven acts as the orchestration layer, you can build workflows that bridge Softr with any other connected tool. For instance, you can set up a trigger where a new row in a Google Sheet creates a record in Softr, which then sends a notification to Slack. The agent manages the data mapping between the different JSON structures of each tool. You simply tell the agent which field in the source tool corresponds to which field in your Softr table, and it handles the transformation and delivery of that data in real time.
