Migrate from Microsoft Copilot Studio to Ceven in 6 steps

  1. Inventory Your Workflows

    Start by listing all your Microsoft Copilot Studio workflows. Focus on their outcomes, not the specific steps. This will help you understand what needs to be rebuilt in Ceven and where you can optimize.

  2. Connect Your Apps in Ceven

    Reauthorize the same apps and services in Ceven that you used in Microsoft Copilot Studio. Ceven supports 1,000+ integrations, ensuring seamless connectivity.

  3. Rebuild for Outcomes, Not Steps

    Instead of recreating each workflow one-for-one, focus on the desired outcomes. Use Ceven's AI steps and human-approval gates to make your workflows more robust and flexible.

  4. Add AI and Approval Steps

    Where Microsoft Copilot Studio workflows might have been brittle, enhance them in Ceven with AI steps for smarter processing and human-approval gates for critical decisions.

  5. Validate in Parallel

    Run your new Ceven workflows alongside your existing Microsoft Copilot Studio workflows. Use real data to ensure everything works as expected before fully transitioning.

  6. Schedule and Cut Over

    Once validated, schedule the final cutover. Ensure all stakeholders are informed and ready for the transition to minimize any potential disruption.

Why teams switch from Microsoft Copilot Studio to Ceven

Teams often migrate from Microsoft Copilot Studio to Ceven for enhanced flexibility and control over their workflows. Ceven's ability to run end-to-end workflows with AI steps and human-approval gates provides a more robust solution for complex automation needs.

What moves over and what doesn't

When migrating from Microsoft Copilot Studio to Ceven, the workflow logic and outcomes can be replicated, but the specific steps and configurations will need to be rebuilt. Ceven does not support automatic import of workflows from Microsoft Copilot Studio, so each workflow must be manually recreated.

However, Ceven's advanced features, such as AI steps and human-approval gates, can enhance your workflows, making them more powerful and adaptable than before.

Avoiding the common pitfalls

One common pitfall is attempting to replicate each step exactly as it was in Microsoft Copilot Studio. Instead, focus on the desired outcomes and optimize your workflows in Ceven. This approach can lead to more efficient and effective automation.

Another pitfall is not validating the new workflows in parallel with the old ones. Running both systems simultaneously ensures that any issues can be identified and resolved before the final cutover, minimizing disruption.
