How to Migrate from Lindy to Ceven
Lindy is a powerful platform that lets you build AI agents and assistants to automate tasks across your apps. Ceven, on the other hand, offers a robust AI workflow automation platform that connects to over 1,000 tools, runs end-to-end workflows, and builds no-code pages/apps.
This guide will walk you through the process of migrating from Lindy to Ceven, ensuring that you can leverage Ceven's advanced capabilities while maintaining the integrity of your existing workflows.
Migrate from Lindy to Ceven in 6 steps
Inventory Your Workflows
Start by listing all the workflows and automations you have built in Lindy. Focus on the outcomes they achieve rather than the specific steps, as this will help you design more efficient workflows in Ceven.
Connect Your Apps in Ceven
Reauthorize the same apps and services you used in Lindy within Ceven. This ensures that your new workflows can interact with the same systems and data sources.
Rebuild Your Workflows
Describe the outcomes you want to achieve in Ceven and rebuild your workflows to accomplish these goals. Use Ceven's AI steps and human-approval gates to enhance flexibility and control.
Add AI Steps and Approval Gates
Identify areas where Lindy's workflows were brittle or lacked flexibility. Add AI steps and human-approval gates in Ceven to make your workflows more robust and adaptable.
Validate in Parallel
Run both Lindy and Ceven workflows in parallel on real data to ensure that the new workflows in Ceven produce the desired outcomes. This step is crucial for identifying and resolving any issues before full migration.
Schedule and Cut Over
Once you are confident in the performance of your Ceven workflows, schedule a cutover date. Ensure that all stakeholders are informed and prepared for the transition.
Why teams switch from Lindy to Ceven
Teams often switch from Lindy to Ceven because of Ceven's broader range of integrations, advanced AI capabilities, and the ability to build and host no-code pages/apps. Ceven's platform allows for more complex and flexible workflows, making it a preferable choice for teams looking to scale their automation efforts.
Additionally, Ceven's human-approval gates provide an extra layer of control and safety, ensuring that critical actions are reviewed before execution. This feature is particularly valuable for teams working with sensitive data or systems of record.
What moves over and what doesn't
When migrating from Lindy to Ceven, you will need to rebuild your workflows and re-authorize your connected apps. The logic and outcomes of your workflows can be preserved, but the specific steps and configurations will need to be adapted to Ceven's platform.
Data and configurations from Lindy do not automatically transfer to Ceven. However, the insights and outcomes you have achieved with Lindy can guide the design of your new workflows in Ceven. This process often results in more streamlined and efficient automations.
Avoiding the common pitfalls
One common pitfall is attempting to recreate your Lindy workflows one-for-one in Ceven. Instead, focus on the outcomes you want to achieve and design new workflows that leverage Ceven's unique features and capabilities.
Another pitfall is skipping the parallel validation step. Running both systems simultaneously ensures that you can identify and resolve any issues before fully migrating to Ceven. This step is crucial for a smooth and successful transition.
