How to Migrate from Stacker to Ceven
Stacker is an AI-powered no-code app builder that turns spreadsheets and databases into custom internal tools, CRMs, and customer portals.
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.
Migrate from Stacker to Ceven in 6 steps
Inventory Your Stacker Apps
Start by listing all the apps you've built in Stacker. For each app, note its purpose, the data it uses, and the workflows it supports. This will help you understand what needs to be rebuilt in Ceven.
Connect Your Apps in Ceven
Sign up for Ceven and connect the same apps and databases you used in Stacker. Ceven supports a wide range of integrations, making it easy to bring your existing tools into the new platform.
Rebuild Your Apps in Ceven
Instead of recreating your Stacker apps one-for-one, focus on rebuilding them to leverage Ceven's AI capabilities. Use Ceven's no-code app builder to create more dynamic and automated versions of your apps.
Add AI Steps and Approval Gates
Enhance your workflows by adding AI steps and human-approval gates where Stacker was limited. This will make your apps more robust and flexible, reducing the risk of errors and improving efficiency.
Validate in Parallel
Run both Stacker and Ceven in parallel to ensure that your new apps are working correctly. Use real data to test the functionality and make any necessary adjustments before fully transitioning.
Schedule and Cut Over
Once you're confident in your Ceven apps, schedule a cutover date. Communicate the change to your team and ensure a smooth transition by providing training and support as needed.
Why teams switch from Stacker to Ceven
Teams often switch from Stacker to Ceven because Ceven offers more advanced AI capabilities and workflow automation. While Stacker excels at turning spreadsheets into apps, Ceven provides a more comprehensive platform for end-to-end workflow automation, including AI steps and human-approval gates.
Additionally, Ceven's ability to connect to 1,000+ tools allows for more seamless integration with existing systems, making it a more versatile solution for teams looking to automate complex processes.
What moves over and what doesn't
When migrating from Stacker to Ceven, the main focus is on rebuilding your apps and workflows. Your data and the logic behind your apps can be recreated in Ceven, but there is no direct import feature. You will need to manually set up your apps and workflows in Ceven.
Ceven does not replace your existing databases or systems of record. Instead, it complements them by automating the processes around them. This means you can continue using your current data sources while leveraging Ceven's advanced features.
Avoiding the common pitfalls
One common pitfall is trying to recreate your Stacker apps exactly as they were. Instead, focus on rebuilding them to take advantage of Ceven's unique features. This might mean consolidating multiple apps into fewer, more capable workflows.
Another pitfall is not validating your new apps thoroughly. Running both systems in parallel and testing with real data is crucial to ensure a smooth transition. Additionally, adding human-approval gates for critical steps can help prevent errors and ensure data integrity.
