How to Migrate from Nordcraft to Ceven
Nordcraft (formerly Toddle) pairs an AI agent with a visual website builder, offering API connections, logic workflows, and built-in hosting. Ceven, on the other hand, 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 walk you through the process of migrating your workflows from Nordcraft to Ceven, ensuring a seamless transition with minimal disruption to your operations.
Migrate from Nordcraft to Ceven in 5 steps
Inventory Your Workflows
Start by listing all your Nordcraft workflows, noting their outcomes and interconnected systems. Focus on the business goals each workflow achieves, not just the steps.
Connect Your Apps in Ceven
Set up the same integrations in Ceven that you used in Nordcraft. Ensure you have the necessary permissions and API keys for each connected app.
Rebuild for Outcomes, Not Steps
Instead of recreating each workflow step-by-step, design them in Ceven to achieve the same outcomes but with added flexibility. Use AI steps to handle dynamic data and human-approval gates for critical decisions.
Validate in Parallel
Run your Nordcraft and Ceven workflows side-by-side on real data. Compare the outputs and troubleshoot any discrepancies before fully transitioning.
Schedule and Cut Over
Once validated, schedule the final cutover. Communicate the change to your team and stakeholders, and monitor the new workflows closely after the switch.
Why Teams Switch from Nordcraft to Ceven
Teams often migrate from Nordcraft to Ceven for enhanced flexibility and scalability. Ceven's ability to connect to 1,000+ tools and incorporate AI steps and human-approval gates provides a more robust solution for complex workflows.
Additionally, Ceven's scheduling capabilities and the ability to build and host no-code pages/apps offer a comprehensive solution that can grow with your business needs.
What Moves Over and What Doesn't
When migrating from Nordcraft to Ceven, your workflow logic and integrations can be recreated, but the actual data and custom-built pages will need to be manually transferred or rebuilt. Ceven does not support automatic import of workflows or data from Nordcraft.
Focus on rebuilding your workflows to achieve the same outcomes but with added capabilities. Use Ceven's AI steps to handle dynamic data and human-approval gates to ensure critical decisions are reviewed.
Avoiding the Common Pitfalls
One common pitfall is attempting to recreate workflows step-by-step from Nordcraft to Ceven. Instead, focus on the outcomes and design workflows in Ceven to achieve those outcomes more efficiently.
Another pitfall is not validating the workflows in parallel. Running both systems side-by-side ensures that any discrepancies are identified and resolved before the final cutover. Always use human-approval gates for writes to systems of record during the transition period.
Frequently asked
Can Ceven automatically import my workflows from Nordcraft?
No, Ceven does not support automatic import of workflows. You will need to rebuild your workflows in Ceven, usually consolidating them into fewer, more capable workflows.
How long does the migration process typically take?
The migration process duration depends on the complexity and number of your workflows. It can range from a few days to several weeks, including the parallel validation period.
Will I lose any data during the migration?
Since Ceven does not replace your system of record, you should not lose any data. However, ensure that you have backups of your workflow configurations and any critical data before starting the migration.
