Migrating your GTM data and enrichment workflows from Lusha to Ceven involves rebuilding your processes to take advantage of Ceven's powerful automation and AI capabilities.

Migrate from Lusha to Ceven in 6 steps
Inventory Your Workflows
Start by documenting all your current Lusha workflows, focusing on their outcomes rather than the steps. Identify which processes are critical for your GTM teams and which data sources and destinations are involved.
Connect Your Apps in Ceven
In Ceven, connect the same apps and data sources you used in Lusha. Ensure you have the necessary permissions and API keys to integrate your CRM, marketing automation tools, and other systems.
Rebuild Your Workflows
Describe the outcomes of your Lusha workflows in Ceven. Use Ceven's AI capabilities to enhance data enrichment and add human-approval gates where necessary to ensure data accuracy and quality.
Add AI and Approval Steps
Leverage Ceven's AI steps to automate data verification and enrichment. Add human-approval gates for critical data writes to systems of record to avoid errors and ensure data integrity.
Validate in Parallel
Run your Lusha and Ceven workflows in parallel for a period, using real data to ensure that Ceven's outputs match your expectations. Monitor the results closely to identify any discrepancies.
Schedule and Cut Over
Once you are confident in your Ceven workflows, schedule the final cutover. Communicate the change to your team and ensure everyone is prepared for the transition.
Why teams switch from Lusha to Ceven
Teams often switch from Lusha to Ceven because Ceven offers more advanced automation and AI capabilities, allowing for more sophisticated data enrichment and workflow management. Ceven's ability to connect to over 1,000 tools and integrate AI steps into workflows provides a more comprehensive solution for GTM teams.
Additionally, Ceven's human-approval gates ensure data accuracy and quality, which is crucial for maintaining reliable data in systems of record. The platform's ability to build and host no-code pages and apps further enhances its versatility and utility for GTM teams.
What moves over and what doesn't
When migrating from Lusha to Ceven, your data sources and destinations will remain the same, but the workflows will need to be rebuilt in Ceven. This includes connecting your CRM, marketing automation tools, and other systems to ensure seamless data flow.
However, the specific workflows and automation rules from Lusha will not automatically transfer to Ceven. You will need to describe the outcomes of your Lusha workflows in Ceven and add AI steps and approval gates where necessary. This process allows you to optimize and enhance your workflows for better performance and accuracy.
Avoiding the common pitfalls
One common pitfall when migrating from Lusha to Ceven is attempting to recreate your workflows one-for-one. Instead, focus on describing the outcomes and leveraging Ceven's advanced capabilities to create more efficient and effective workflows.
Another pitfall is not validating your new workflows in parallel with your old ones. Running both systems simultaneously allows you to identify any discrepancies and ensure a smooth transition. Always include human-approval gates for critical data writes to avoid errors and maintain data integrity.
