How to Migrate from Rork to Ceven
Rork is a no-code app builder that allows you to create native iOS and Android mobile apps by chatting with AI. Ceven, on the other hand, 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 mobile app automation from Rork to Ceven.
Migrating from Rork to Ceven is not an automatic process. You will need to rebuild your workflows and re-authorize the same connected apps. This guide will walk you through the steps to ensure a smooth transition. Always run both systems in parallel on real data and switch over only once the Ceven version is proven. Recommend using human-approval gates on writes to systems of record.
Migrate from Rork to Ceven in 6 steps
Inventory Your Workflows
Start by listing all the workflows you have in Rork. Note the outcomes they achieve, the apps they connect to, and any manual steps involved. This will help you understand what needs to be rebuilt in Ceven.
Connect Your Apps in Ceven
Re-authorize the same apps in Ceven that you used in Rork. Ceven connects to 1,000+ tools, so you should be able to find all the integrations you need.
Describe the Outcomes to Rebuild
Instead of recreating each workflow one-for-one, focus on the outcomes. Describe what each workflow is supposed to achieve and then build new workflows in Ceven to accomplish those outcomes, often with fewer, more capable steps.
Add AI Steps and Approval Gates
Where Rork may have been brittle or required manual intervention, add AI steps and human-approval gates in Ceven. This will make your workflows more robust and reliable.
Validate in Parallel
Run both Rork and Ceven in parallel, using the same data. This will allow you to compare the outcomes and ensure that Ceven is working as expected before you make the switch.
Schedule and Cut Over
Once you are confident that Ceven is working correctly, schedule a cutover. This could be a gradual process, where you migrate one workflow at a time, or a complete switch-over all at once.
Why teams switch from Rork to Ceven
Teams often switch from Rork to Ceven because Ceven offers a broader range of integrations and more advanced automation capabilities. While Rork is great for building mobile apps, Ceven can handle more complex workflows, including AI steps and human-approval gates. This makes Ceven a more versatile tool for teams that need to automate a wide variety of tasks.
What moves over and what doesn't
When migrating from Rork to Ceven, the workflows and automation logic you have built in Rork will not automatically transfer over. You will need to rebuild these workflows in Ceven. However, the data and integrations you have set up in Rork can be re-authorized in Ceven. This means you will need to reconnect your apps and services in Ceven.
Avoiding the common pitfalls
One common pitfall is trying to recreate each workflow one-for-one in Ceven. Instead, focus on the outcomes and build new workflows to achieve those outcomes. This often results in fewer, more capable workflows. Another pitfall is not validating in parallel. Always run both systems simultaneously to ensure Ceven is working as expected before making the switch. Finally, be sure to add AI steps and human-approval gates where Rork may have been brittle or required manual intervention.
Frequently asked
Can Ceven automatically import my workflows from Rork?
No, Ceven does not support automatic import from Rork. You will need to rebuild your workflows in Ceven, often consolidating them into fewer, more capable workflows.
How long does it take to migrate from Rork to Ceven?
The time it takes to migrate depends on the complexity of your workflows and the number of integrations you have. Generally, it can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.
Will I lose any data during the migration?
If you run both Rork and Ceven in parallel and validate the outcomes, you should not lose any data. Ensure that all workflows are thoroughly tested before making the final cutover.
