How to Migrate from Noloco to Ceven
Noloco is a no-code platform designed for building internal tools and client portals on top of Airtable, Google Sheets, and databases. 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 and host no-code pages/apps. This guide will help you migrate your workflows and automations from Noloco to Ceven.
Migrating from Noloco to Ceven involves rebuilding your workflows and automations in Ceven and re-authorizing the same connected apps. The process requires careful planning and validation to ensure a smooth transition.
Migrate from Noloco to Ceven in 6 steps
Inventory Your Workflows
Start by listing all the workflows and automations you have built in Noloco. Focus on the outcomes these workflows achieve rather than the specific steps. This will help you identify which workflows to prioritize and which can be consolidated or optimized.
Connect Your Apps in Ceven
Ceven connects to 1,000+ tools, including the same apps you use with Noloco. Set up these integrations in Ceven to ensure a seamless transition. This step is crucial for maintaining the functionality of your workflows in the new platform.
Rebuild Your Workflows
Describe the outcomes you want to achieve in Ceven and rebuild the workflows to accomplish these goals. You dont need to recreate each step one-for-one. Instead, focus on optimizing and enhancing the workflows with Ceven's advanced features, such as AI steps and human-approval gates.
Add AI and Approval Gates
Take advantage of Ceven's AI capabilities and human-approval gates to add robustness to your workflows. Identify areas in your Noloco workflows where errors or delays occurred and implement AI steps or approval gates to mitigate these issues.
Validate in Parallel
Run both Noloco and Ceven workflows in parallel on real data. This allows you to validate that Ceven is working as expected and gives you time to make any necessary adjustments. Use human-approval gates on writes to systems of record to ensure data integrity during this phase.
Schedule and Cut Over
Once you have validated that your Ceven workflows are functioning correctly, schedule a cutover date. Communicate this date to all stakeholders and ensure that everyone is prepared for the transition. After the cutover, monitor the workflows closely to address any issues that may arise.
Why teams switch from Noloco to Ceven
Teams often switch from Noloco to Ceven to leverage advanced automation capabilities and AI integration. Ceven's ability to run end-to-end workflows on a schedule, with AI steps and human-approval gates, provides a more robust and flexible solution for automating internal processes. Additionally, Ceven's no-code page and app builder allows for the creation of custom interfaces that can enhance the user experience and streamline workflows.
Another reason teams migrate to Ceven is the platform's extensive integration capabilities. With connections to 1,000+ tools, Ceven can seamlessly integrate with the same apps used in Noloco, ensuring a smooth transition and minimizing disruption to existing workflows. Ceven's platform also offers enhanced reporting and analytics, providing teams with valuable insights into their automation processes.
What moves over and what doesn't
When migrating from Noloco to Ceven, the workflows and automations you have built in Noloco will need to be rebuilt in Ceven. This includes any custom logic, triggers, and actions that are part of your workflows. The connected apps and databases will also need to be re-authorized in Ceven to ensure seamless integration. Ceven does not auto-import workflows from Noloco, so this process requires manual effort to ensure accuracy and optimization.
What does not move over are the specific configurations and settings of your Noloco internal tools and client portals. These will need to be recreated in Ceven using the platform's no-code page and app builder. Additionally, any custom scripts or code-based solutions used in Noloco will need to be reimplemented in Ceven, as the platforms have different capabilities and limitations.
Avoiding the common pitfalls
One common pitfall when migrating from Noloco to Ceven is underestimating the time and effort required to rebuild workflows. It's important to allocate sufficient resources and time for this process to ensure a successful transition. Another pitfall is not thoroughly testing the new workflows in Ceven before cutting over. Running both platforms in parallel on real data and using human-approval gates on writes to systems of record can help mitigate this risk.
Another pitfall is not leveraging Ceven's advanced features, such as AI steps and human-approval gates. These features can significantly enhance the robustness and efficiency of your workflows, so it's important to identify areas where they can be implemented. Additionally, not communicating the migration plan and timeline to all stakeholders can lead to confusion and disruptions. Ensure that everyone is informed and prepared for the transition to minimize any potential issues.
Frequently asked
Can Ceven auto-import my workflows from Noloco?
No, Ceven does not offer an auto-import feature for workflows from Noloco. You will need to rebuild your workflows in Ceven, which often results in consolidating into fewer, more capable workflows.
How do I handle data integrity during the migration?
Run both Noloco and Ceven workflows in parallel on real data and use human-approval gates on writes to systems of record. This ensures data integrity and allows you to validate the new workflows before fully transitioning to Ceven.
What if I encounter issues during the migration?
Ceven's support team is available to assist with any issues you may encounter during the migration process. It's important to communicate any problems promptly to ensure a smooth transition. Additionally, running both platforms in parallel allows you to address any issues without disrupting your workflows.
