Bardeen automates browser and SaaS tasks with AI-assisted workflows, and while there is no direct import feature, you can use this guide to rebuild your workflows in Ceven, connecting the same apps and adding new features like AI steps and human-approval gates.
Migrate from Bardeen to Ceven in 5 steps
Inventory Your Workflows
Start by listing all your workflows in Bardeen. Focus on the outcomes each workflow achieves, rather than the specific steps. This will help you rebuild them more efficiently in Ceven.
Connect Your Apps in Ceven
Ceven supports 1,000+ tools, so you can connect the same apps you used in Bardeen. Authorize these apps in Ceven to ensure a smooth transition.
Rebuild Workflows with New Features
In Ceven, describe the outcomes you want to achieve, rather than recreating each step from Bardeen. Use this opportunity to add AI steps and human-approval gates to enhance reliability and control.
Validate in Parallel
Run both Bardeen and Ceven workflows in parallel on real data. This ensures that Ceven's workflows are functioning correctly before you fully transition.
Schedule and Cut Over
Once youve validated Ceven's workflows, schedule the final cutover. Consider using human-approval gates on writes to systems of record during this period to minimize risks.
Why teams switch from Bardeen to Ceven
Teams often switch from Bardeen to Ceven for several reasons. Ceven offers a more robust platform with AI workflow automation, human-approval gates, and the ability to build and host no-code pages and apps. This enhances the reliability and control over automation processes, making it a preferred choice for many organizations.
Additionally, Ceven's extensive integration with over 1,000 tools allows for seamless connectivity with a wide range of applications, providing a more comprehensive automation solution.
What moves over and what doesn't
When migrating from Bardeen to Ceven, it's important to note that there is no automatic import feature. You will need to rebuild your workflows in Ceven. However, this process allows you to consolidate and optimize your workflows, taking advantage of Ceven's advanced features.
While the specific steps and configurations from Bardeen do not move over, the outcomes and connected apps can be replicated in Ceven. This means you can achieve the same results with potentially fewer, more efficient workflows.
Avoiding the common pitfalls
One common pitfall is trying to recreate each step from Bardeen one-for-one in Ceven. Instead, focus on the outcomes and use Ceven's capabilities to build more efficient and reliable workflows.
Another pitfall is rushing the transition. Ensure you run both systems in parallel and validate the workflows thoroughly before cutting over to Ceven. This will help minimize disruptions and ensure a smooth migration.
