How to Migrate from Framer to Ceven
Framer is a design-first AI website builder that generates and publishes professional sites with a built-in CMS, no code required.
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.
Migrate from Framer to Ceven in 6 steps
Inventory your Framer workflows
List all the workflows and automations you have set up in Framer. Focus on the outcomes and results, not the steps.
Connect the same apps in Ceven
Ceven connects to 1,000+ tools, including those you use with Framer. Start by connecting these apps in Ceven.
Describe the outcomes to rebuild
Instead of recreating each step from Framer, describe the desired outcomes. This approach helps in consolidating workflows and adding more capabilities.
Add AI steps and approval gates
Identify where Framer's workflows were brittle or lacked flexibility. Add AI steps and human-approval gates in Ceven to make the processes more robust.
Validate in parallel
Run both Framer and Ceven in parallel on real data. Ensure that Ceven's workflows produce the expected outcomes before making the final switch.
Schedule and cut over
Once validated, schedule the final cutover. Ensure all stakeholders are informed and prepared for the transition.
Why teams switch from Framer to Ceven
Teams often switch from Framer to Ceven for the enhanced capabilities in workflow automation and AI integration. While Framer excels in design and CMS, Ceven offers a more robust platform for automating the busywork around these processes. This includes enriching data, following up on leads, syncing information, and generating reports.
Ceven's ability to connect to 1,000+ tools allows for a more integrated and automated approach to workflows. The addition of AI steps and human-approval gates ensures that the processes are both efficient and reliable. This makes Ceven a powerful complement to Framer, allowing teams to focus on what they do best—designing and building professional sites—while automating the rest.
What moves over and what doesn't
When migrating from Framer to Ceven, it's important to understand that there is no automatic import of workflows. This means you will need to rebuild your automations on Ceven. However, this process often results in more streamlined and capable workflows.
What does move over is the ability to connect the same apps and tools you use in Framer. Ceven supports a wide range of integrations, ensuring that your existing tools can be seamlessly integrated into your new workflows. Additionally, the design-first approach of Framer can be complemented by Ceven's AI and automation capabilities, enhancing the overall efficiency and reliability of your processes.
Avoiding the common pitfalls
One of the most common pitfalls in migrating from Framer to Ceven is attempting to recreate each step from Framer one-for-one. Instead, focus on the desired outcomes and rebuild the workflows in Ceven to achieve those outcomes more efficiently.
Another pitfall is rushing the migration process. It's crucial to run both Framer and Ceven in parallel on real data to ensure that the new workflows in Ceven are producing the expected results. This validation step helps in identifying and addressing any issues before the final cutover. Additionally, consider adding human-approval gates on writes to systems of record to ensure data integrity and reliability.
Frequently asked
Can Ceven automatically import my workflows from Framer?
No, Ceven does not support automatic import of workflows from Framer. You will need to rebuild your automations on Ceven, usually consolidating into fewer, more capable workflows.
Will I lose any data during the migration?
No data will be lost during the migration. However, since Ceven is not a CMS, you will need to keep your CMS in Framer. Ceven will handle the automation and workflows around your CMS, ensuring a seamless transition.
How long does the migration process take?
The duration of the migration process depends on the complexity and number of workflows you have in Framer. It's recommended to allocate sufficient time for rebuilding the workflows in Ceven, validating them in parallel, and ensuring a smooth cutover.
