How to Migrate from People Data Labs to Ceven
People Data Labs provides person and company records through enrichment and search APIs, helping businesses enhance their GTM data. Ceven offers a robust platform for workflow automation, AI integration, and human-approval gates, allowing you to build and host no-code pages/apps.
Migrating from People Data Labs to Ceven involves rebuilding your workflows in Ceven and re-authorizing your connected apps. This guide provides a step-by-step process to ensure a smooth transition.
Migrate from People Data Labs to Ceven in 6 steps
Inventory Your Workflows
Start by listing all your current People Data Labs workflows. Focus on the outcomes they achieve, such as data enrichment or search, rather than the specific steps.
Connect Your Apps in Ceven
Re-authorize the same apps and data sources in Ceven that you used with People Data Labs. Ensure you have the necessary permissions and access.
Rebuild for Outcomes
Describe the desired outcomes of your workflows in Ceven. Use AI steps to enhance data enrichment and add human-approval gates where necessary to ensure data quality.
Add AI and Approval Gates
Identify areas where People Data Labs workflows were brittle and add AI steps and human-approval gates in Ceven to improve reliability and accuracy.
Validate in Parallel
Run your People Data Labs and Ceven workflows in parallel, using real data to validate the outcomes. Ensure the Ceven version meets your expectations before full migration.
Schedule and Cut Over
Once validated, schedule the final cutover. Monitor the new workflows closely to ensure they perform as expected and make any necessary adjustments.
Why teams switch from People Data Labs to Ceven
Teams often migrate from People Data Labs to Ceven to leverage advanced AI capabilities and workflow automation. Ceven allows for more complex and flexible workflows, including human-approval gates, which can enhance data quality and reliability.
Additionally, Ceven’s ability to connect to over 1,000 tools and build no-code pages/apps provides a comprehensive solution for GTM data and enrichment, making it a more versatile platform for growing businesses.
What moves over and what doesn't
When migrating from People Data Labs to Ceven, the data enrichment and search outcomes can be rebuilt, but the specific API calls and workflow steps will need to be re-created. Ceven does not automatically import workflows from People Data Labs, so you will need to describe the desired outcomes and rebuild them in Ceven.
Connected apps and data sources can be re-authorized in Ceven, but any custom integrations or specific API configurations will need to be set up again. Ensure you have all necessary access and permissions before starting the migration.
Avoiding the common pitfalls
One common pitfall is trying to recreate workflows one-for-one from People Data Labs to Ceven. Instead, focus on the outcomes and use Ceven’s AI and automation capabilities to build more robust and efficient workflows.
Another pitfall is not validating the new workflows in parallel with the old ones. Running both systems simultaneously allows you to catch any issues and ensure the Ceven version meets your expectations before fully cutting over.
