How to Migrate from Beam AI to Ceven
Beam AI is an agentic automation platform that turns standard operating procedures into self-learning AI agents. Ceven is a powerful 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.
Migrating from Beam AI to Ceven means rebuilding your workflows and re-authorizing the same connected apps. This guide will walk you through the process, ensuring a smooth transition and helping you leverage Ceven's advanced features.
Migrate from Beam AI to Ceven in 6 steps
Inventory Your Beam AI Workflows
Start by listing all the workflows you have in Beam AI. Focus on the outcomes and results of each workflow rather than the specific steps. This will help you identify which workflows are critical and which can be consolidated or optimized.
Connect Your Apps in Ceven
Ceven connects to 1,000+ tools, so you can start by connecting the same apps you use in Beam AI. This ensures that your data flows seamlessly between the tools you rely on.
Describe Outcomes to Rebuild Workflows
Rather than recreating your Beam AI workflows step-by-step, describe the desired outcomes and results. This approach allows you to take advantage of Ceven's advanced features and build more efficient, capable workflows.
Add AI Steps and Approval Gates
Identify areas in your Beam AI workflows where AI steps or human-approval gates can enhance reliability. Ceven's AI steps and approval gates can help automate decision-making and ensure accuracy, especially in brittle or high-risk processes.
Validate in Parallel
Run your Beam AI and Ceven workflows in parallel for a period. Use real data to ensure that Ceven's workflows produce the same or better results. This step is crucial for validating the accuracy and reliability of your new Ceven workflows.
Schedule and Cut Over
Once you've validated that Ceven's workflows are working correctly, schedule a cutover date. Ensure that all stakeholders are informed and prepared for the transition. Monitor the workflows closely post-cutover to address any issues that may arise.
Why teams switch from Beam AI to Ceven
Teams often switch from Beam AI to Ceven for several reasons. Ceven offers a more comprehensive set of features, including the ability to connect to 1,000+ tools, run end-to-end workflows on a schedule, and build no-code pages and apps. Additionally, Ceven's AI steps and human-approval gates provide enhanced reliability and control over workflows, making it a more robust solution for complex automation needs.
Ceven's user-friendly interface and powerful automation capabilities allow teams to consolidate multiple workflows into fewer, more efficient processes. This can lead to significant time savings and improved productivity.
What moves over and what doesn't
When migrating from Beam AI to Ceven, the workflows themselves do not automatically transfer. Instead, you will rebuild your workflows in Ceven, focusing on the outcomes and results rather than the specific steps. This approach allows you to take advantage of Ceven's advanced features and build more efficient, capable workflows.
Your connected apps and data sources will need to be re-authorized in Ceven. However, Ceven's extensive library of integrations ensures that you can connect to the same tools you use in Beam AI, maintaining data flow and continuity.
Avoiding the common pitfalls
One of the most common pitfalls when migrating from Beam AI to Ceven is trying to recreate workflows one-for-one. Instead, focus on the desired outcomes and results, and use Ceven's advanced features to build more efficient and capable workflows.
Another pitfall is not validating the workflows in parallel before cutting over. Running both Beam AI and Ceven workflows simultaneously ensures that Ceven's workflows produce the same or better results, minimizing the risk of disruption during the transition.
Frequently asked
Can Ceven automatically import my Beam AI workflows?
No, Ceven does not support automatic import of Beam AI workflows. You will need to rebuild your workflows in Ceven, focusing on the outcomes and results rather than the specific steps. This approach allows you to take advantage of Ceven's advanced features and build more efficient, capable workflows.
How long does the migration process take?
The duration of the migration process depends on the complexity and number of workflows you have in Beam AI. Generally, it involves inventorying your workflows, connecting your apps in Ceven, rebuilding the workflows, validating in parallel, and scheduling the cutover. This process can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months, depending on your specific needs.
What kind of support does Ceven offer during the migration process?
Ceven offers comprehensive support during the migration process. You can reach out to their support team for guidance on connecting apps, rebuilding workflows, and validating the new processes. Additionally, Ceven's documentation and community resources provide valuable insights and best practices for a smooth transition.
