How to Migrate from Tempo to Ceven
Tempo is an AI-powered visual editor that generates and edits React code directly in your codebase. It allows users to build and customize apps without extensive coding knowledge.
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 & host no-code pages/apps.
Migrate from Tempo to Ceven in 7 steps
Inventory Your Workflows
Start by inventorying all the workflows and automations you have built in Tempo. Focus on the outcomes these workflows achieve rather than the specific steps, as you will rebuild them in Ceven to take advantage of its unique features.
Connect the Same Apps in Ceven
Ceven connects to 1,000+ tools, so you can start by connecting the same apps you use in Tempo. This ensures that your new workflows in Ceven will have the same data sources and destinations.
Describe the Outcomes to Rebuild
For each workflow, describe the outcome you want to achieve in Ceven. This approach allows you to consolidate multiple workflows into fewer, more capable automations. For example, if you had separate workflows for data enrichment and follow-ups, you can combine these into a single workflow in Ceven.
Add AI Steps and Approval Gates
Identify areas in your Tempo workflows where human intervention was required or where the workflow was brittle. In Ceven, add AI steps to automate these areas and human-approval gates to ensure data integrity and compliance.
Validate in Parallel
Run both Tempo and Ceven workflows in parallel for a period to ensure that Ceven is producing the expected outcomes. Use human-approval gates on writes to systems of record to catch any discrepancies early.
Schedule and Cut Over
Once you are confident that Ceven is working as expected, schedule a cutover date. Ensure all stakeholders are informed and that any necessary data migrations or final validations are completed before the switch.
Monitor and Optimize
After the cutover, monitor the Ceven workflows closely to ensure they are performing as expected. Use Ceven's analytics and reporting features to optimize the workflows further and identify areas for improvement.
Why teams switch from Tempo to Ceven
Teams often switch from Tempo to Ceven to take advantage of Ceven's advanced AI workflow automation capabilities. Ceven allows for more complex and flexible workflows, including AI steps and human-approval gates, which can handle a broader range of automation needs. Additionally, Ceven's ability to build and host no-code pages and apps means that teams can consolidate their no-code development and automation efforts into a single platform, reducing the need for multiple tools and integrations.
What moves over and what doesn't
When migrating from Tempo to Ceven, the actual code and workflow logic do not move over directly. Instead, you will rebuild the workflows in Ceven, taking advantage of its unique features and capabilities. The data sources and destinations (the connected apps) can move over, as Ceven supports a wide range of integrations. However, the specific steps and logic of the workflows will need to be recreated in Ceven, allowing for consolidation and optimization. The no-code apps you built in Tempo will also need to be rebuilt in Ceven, but you can take advantage of Ceven's advanced no-code development features to create more powerful and flexible apps.
Avoiding the common pitfalls
One of the most common pitfalls when migrating from Tempo to Ceven is trying to replicate the workflows one-for-one. Instead, focus on the outcomes and take advantage of Ceven's advanced features to create more efficient and capable workflows. Another pitfall is not running the workflows in parallel long enough to catch any discrepancies. Ensure you have a thorough validation process in place and use human-approval gates to catch any issues early. Finally, make sure all stakeholders are informed and involved in the migration process to ensure a smooth transition.
Frequently asked
Can Ceven auto-import my workflows from Tempo?
No, Ceven does not support auto-importing workflows from Tempo. You will need to rebuild your workflows in Ceven, which usually results in fewer, more capable automations. This process allows you to take full advantage of Ceven's advanced features and capabilities.
Will I lose any data during the migration?
No, you will not lose any data during the migration. Since you are rebuilding the workflows in Ceven, the data sources and destinations will remain the same. Ensure you run both Tempo and Ceven workflows in parallel to validate the data and catch any discrepancies early.
How long does the migration process take?
The migration process time varies depending on the complexity and number of workflows you have in Tempo. Generally, it involves inventorying, rebuilding, validating, and optimizing the workflows in Ceven. Allow ample time for parallel testing and validation to ensure a smooth transition.
