How to Migrate from 6sense to Ceven
6sense is a powerful account-based marketing platform that combines intent data, predictive AI, and buying-stage intelligence to help your team optimize your go-to-market strategy. Ceven is an AI workflow automation platform that connects to 1,000+ tools, runs end-to-end workflows on a schedule with AI steps and human-approval gates, and can build & host no-code pages/apps.
This guide will walk you through the process of migrating your 6sense workflows to Ceven. While Ceven does not automatically import 6sense workflows, you can rebuild them with enhanced capabilities and ensure a smooth transition.
Migrate from 6sense to Ceven in 6 steps
Inventory Your Workflows
Start by listing all your 6sense workflows and their outcomes. Focus on the results they achieve rather than the specific steps. This will help you identify which workflows to prioritize and how to rebuild them in Ceven.
Connect Your Apps in Ceven
Re-authorize the same apps and tools in Ceven that you used in 6sense. Ceven connects to 1,000+ tools, so you can easily integrate your existing systems and ensure seamless data flow.
Rebuild Workflows by Outcome
Describe the desired outcomes of your 6sense workflows in Ceven. Use Ceven's AI steps to enhance data enrichment and predictive capabilities. Add human-approval gates where 6sense was limited, ensuring better control and accuracy.
Add AI Steps and Approval Gates
Leverage Ceven's AI steps to automate complex data processing tasks. Add human-approval gates to critical workflows to ensure data accuracy and compliance. This will help you avoid the brittle automation issues you might have faced with 6sense.
Validate in Parallel
Run both 6sense and Ceven workflows in parallel on real data. Compare the results to ensure that Ceven's workflows are performing as expected. This will help you identify any issues and make necessary adjustments.
Schedule and Cut Over
Once you are confident in Ceven's workflows, schedule the final cutover. Monitor the new workflows closely to ensure a smooth transition and address any issues that may arise.
Why teams switch from 6sense to Ceven
Teams often switch from 6sense to Ceven because of its enhanced AI capabilities and the ability to add human-approval gates. While 6sense excels in account-based marketing and intent data, Ceven provides a more flexible and powerful platform for automating complex workflows. Ceven's AI steps can handle data enrichment and predictive tasks more efficiently, and its human-approval gates ensure better control and accuracy.
Additionally, Ceven's ability to connect to 1,000+ tools allows teams to integrate their existing systems seamlessly. This makes it easier to build end-to-end workflows that span multiple applications, providing a more comprehensive solution for automating busywork around your CRM and other systems of record.
What moves over and what doesn't
When migrating from 6sense to Ceven, your workflow outcomes and the apps you connect will move over. You can rebuild your workflows in Ceven to achieve the same results, often with enhanced capabilities. However, your 6sense-specific configurations and settings will not automatically transfer. You will need to re-authorize your connected apps and describe your workflows' outcomes in Ceven.
Ceven is not a replacement for 6sense's account-based marketing capabilities. Instead, it complements your existing systems by automating the busywork around your CRM and other systems of record. This includes data enrichment, follow-ups, syncing, and reporting, all of which can be enhanced with Ceven's AI steps and human-approval gates.
Avoiding the common pitfalls
One common pitfall is attempting to recreate your 6sense workflows one-for-one in Ceven. Instead, focus on the outcomes and use Ceven's enhanced capabilities to build more efficient and powerful workflows. Another pitfall is not validating your Ceven workflows in parallel with your 6sense workflows. Running both systems simultaneously ensures that you can compare results and make necessary adjustments before cutting over.
Additionally, be sure to add human-approval gates to critical workflows to ensure data accuracy and compliance. This will help you avoid the brittle automation issues that you might have faced with 6sense. Finally, monitor your new workflows closely after the cutover to address any issues that may arise and ensure a smooth transition.
