How to Migrate from Albato to Ceven
Albato is an iPaaS and embedded automation platform that connects SaaS apps with one-click integrations.
This guide will walk you through migrating your workflows from Albato to Ceven, focusing on rebuilding automations and connecting the same apps.
Migrate from Albato to Ceven in 7 steps
List your outcomes
Start by listing the outcomes your Albato workflows achieve. This helps you focus on the results rather than the steps, allowing you to rebuild more efficiently on Ceven.
Connect the same apps in Ceven
Ceven connects to over 1,000 tools, including those you're already using in Albato. Reauthorize these apps in Ceven to ensure seamless data flow.
Describe the outcomes to rebuild
Using the list of outcomes, describe what you want to achieve in Ceven. This doesn't mean recreating one-for-one; instead, focus on the end results and let Ceven's capabilities guide the rebuild.
Add AI and approval gates
Identify areas where Albato's automations were brittle or error-prone. In Ceven, add AI steps and human-approval gates to handle exceptions and ensure data integrity.
Validate in parallel
Run both Albato and Ceven in parallel using real data. Validate that Ceven's workflows produce the expected outcomes before considering a full transition.
Schedule and cut over
Once validated, schedule the final cutover. Ensure all stakeholders are informed and that you have a rollback plan in case of unforeseen issues.
Monitor and optimize
After the cutover, monitor Ceven's workflows closely. Use Ceven's analytics to identify bottlenecks and optimize your automations over time.
Why teams switch from Albato to Ceven
Teams often switch from Albato to Ceven to leverage Ceven's advanced AI capabilities and human-approval gates. Ceven's ability to run end-to-end workflows with AI steps and approval gates provides a more robust solution for automating complex processes.
Additionally, Ceven's no-code page and app builder allows teams to create custom interfaces and applications, enhancing the overall automation experience.
What moves over and what doesn't
When migrating from Albato to Ceven, the workflow logic and connected apps can be rebuilt in Ceven, but there is no automatic import of these workflows. You will need to reauthorize the same connected apps and rebuild your workflows based on the outcomes they achieve.
Ceven does not import historical data or logs from Albato. Focus on rebuilding the workflows that automate your current processes and ensure they run alongside your existing systems of record, such as your CRM.
Avoiding the common pitfalls
One common pitfall is trying to recreate Albato workflows one-for-one in Ceven. Instead, focus on the outcomes and use Ceven's capabilities to create more efficient and robust automations.
Another pitfall is not validating the workflows in parallel. Running both Albato and Ceven simultaneously ensures that you can identify and address any issues before fully transitioning to Ceven. Additionally, be mindful of data integrity and ensure that writes to systems of record are protected by human-approval gates.
Frequently asked
Can Ceven auto-import my Albato workflows?
No, Ceven does not offer an auto-import feature for Albato workflows. You will need to rebuild your workflows in Ceven, often consolidating them into fewer, more capable automations.
How do I handle connected apps during the migration?
You will need to reauthorize the same connected apps in Ceven. This ensures that your data flows seamlessly between the apps and Ceven.
What if I encounter issues during the validation phase?
If you encounter issues, review the workflows in Ceven and compare them to the outcomes you listed initially. Adjust the workflows as needed and continue validating until the results match your expectations.
