How to Migrate from Emergent to Ceven
Emergent is a powerful no-code app builder that converts natural-language descriptions into production-ready web and mobile apps, giving you full ownership of the code.
Ceven is an AI workflow automation platform that connects to 1,000+ tools, runs end-to-end workflows with AI steps, and can build and host no-code pages/apps.
Migrate from Emergent to Ceven in 6 steps
Inventory your apps and workflows
Begin by listing all the apps and workflows you have built in Emergent. Group them by their outcomes, not their steps, to understand what you need to achieve in Ceven.
Connect your apps in Ceven
Ceven connects to 1,000+ apps. In Ceven, connect the same apps you used in Emergent, or find similar ones if needed.
Describe the outcomes to rebuild
Instead of recreating each step from Emergent, focus on the desired outcomes. Describe these outcomes in Ceven and build workflows to achieve them.
Add AI steps and approval gates
Identify where Emergent workflows were brittle or manual. In Ceven, add AI steps to handle exceptions and approval gates for critical decisions.
Validate in parallel
Run both Emergent and Ceven workflows in parallel using real data. Ensure Ceven achieves the same outcomes as Emergent before considering a full switch.
Schedule and cut over
Once validated, schedule the final cutover. Inform your team and users about the transition. Monitor the new workflows closely for any issues.
Why teams switch from Emergent to Ceven
Teams switch from Emergent to Ceven for several reasons. Ceven offers advanced AI capabilities that can handle exceptions and make decisions autonomously, reducing the need for manual intervention. Additionally, Ceven's ability to connect to 1,000+ tools allows for more integrated and comprehensive workflows.
Ceven's human-approval gates provide an extra layer of security and control, ensuring that critical decisions are reviewed by the right people. This makes Ceven an ideal choice for teams looking to automate complex processes while maintaining high standards of quality and security.
What moves over and what doesn't
When migrating from Emergent to Ceven, the workflow logic and the outcomes you have achieved with Emergent will move over. However, the actual code and the specific no-code steps will not transfer automatically.
You will need to rebuild these workflows in Ceven, focusing on the desired outcomes rather than the step-by-step process. This is an opportunity to consolidate and optimize your workflows, taking advantage of Ceven's advanced features.
Avoiding the common pitfalls
One common pitfall is trying to replicate Emergent workflows one-for-one in Ceven. Instead, focus on the outcomes and use Ceven's capabilities to achieve them more efficiently.
Another pitfall is not validating the new workflows thoroughly. Running both systems in parallel and using real data is crucial to ensure a smooth transition. Additionally, be sure to add human-approval gates for critical steps to maintain control and security.
Frequently asked
Can Ceven automatically import my workflows from Emergent?
No, Ceven does not support automatic import of workflows from Emergent. You will need to rebuild your workflows in Ceven, focusing on the desired outcomes and utilizing Ceven's advanced features.
How long does the migration process take?
The duration of the migration process depends on the complexity and number of workflows you have in Emergent. It is recommended to start with a small set of workflows, validate them in Ceven, and then gradually migrate the rest.
Can I run Emergent and Ceven in parallel during the migration?
Yes, it is strongly recommended to run both systems in parallel using real data. This allows you to validate the new workflows in Ceven and ensure they achieve the same outcomes as Emergent before making the final switch.
