How to Migrate from Ema to Ceven
Ema is a universal AI employee that runs enterprise workflows across roles using pre-built and custom AI agents. 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 workflows from Ema to Ceven. We'll cover the key differences, how to rebuild your automations, and ensure a smooth transition.
Migrate from Ema to Ceven in 6 steps
Inventory Your Workflows
Start by documenting all your current workflows in Ema. Focus on the outcomes they achieve rather than the specific steps. This will help you identify which workflows are critical and which can be consolidated or optimized in Ceven.
Connect Your Apps in Ceven
Re-authorize the same apps and services you used in Ema within Ceven. Ceven supports 1,000+ integrations, making it easy to maintain your existing connections and add new ones as needed.
Rebuild Your Workflows
Describe the outcomes you want to achieve in Ceven and rebuild your workflows to match. Use Ceven's AI steps and human-approval gates to enhance flexibility and control. Aim to consolidate multiple workflows into fewer, more capable automations.
Add AI and Approval Steps
Where Ema's workflows may have been brittle, add AI steps and human-approval gates in Ceven. This ensures that your workflows are more robust and can handle exceptions or require human intervention when necessary.
Validate in Parallel
Run your Ema and Ceven workflows in parallel using real data. This allows you to compare results and ensure that Ceven's workflows are performing as expected before making the full switch.
Schedule and Cut Over
Once you're confident in your Ceven workflows, schedule the final cutover. Monitor the transition closely and be prepared to address any issues that may arise.
Why teams switch from Ema to Ceven
Teams often switch from Ema to Ceven for several reasons. Ceven offers a more comprehensive suite of tools for AI workflow automation, including the ability to build and host no-code pages and apps. This makes it a more versatile platform for a wide range of use cases.
Additionally, Ceven's support for 1,000+ integrations and its robust scheduling and approval features provide greater flexibility and control over workflows. This can help teams streamline their processes and improve efficiency.
What moves over and what doesn't
When migrating from Ema to Ceven, you will need to rebuild your workflows from scratch. This means that the specific steps and configurations in your Ema workflows will not automatically transfer to Ceven. However, the outcomes and goals of your workflows can be easily recreated.
You will also need to re-authorize all your connected apps and services in Ceven. This ensures that your workflows have the necessary permissions and access to function properly. Data and configurations specific to Ema's AI agents will not transfer, but you can recreate similar functionality using Ceven's AI steps and approval gates.
Avoiding the common pitfalls
One common pitfall when migrating from Ema to Ceven is attempting to recreate every step of your original workflows exactly as they were. Instead, focus on the outcomes and use Ceven's more advanced features to optimize and consolidate your workflows.
Another pitfall is not validating your workflows in parallel. Running both Ema and Ceven workflows simultaneously allows you to compare results and ensure a smooth transition. Be sure to add human-approval gates on writes to systems of record to prevent data inconsistencies during the migration process.
