How to Migrate from Thunkable to Ceven
Thunkable is a no-code platform that builds iOS and Android apps by chatting with AI plus visual UI and logic editing.
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 Thunkable to Ceven in 6 steps
Inventory Your Thunkable Apps
Start by listing all your Thunkable apps and their core outcomes. Note the data flows, connected services, and user interactions each app handles.
Connect Your Apps in Ceven
In Ceven, connect the same services and tools you used in Thunkable. Ceven supports 1,000+ integrations, making it easy to replicate your data flows.
Rebuild Your Apps in Ceven
Describe the outcomes of your Thunkable apps in Ceven. Focus on the desired results rather than recreating the exact logic. Use Ceven's AI steps and human-approval gates to enhance robustness.
Add AI and Approval Gates
Identify areas in your Thunkable apps where automation was brittle or required manual intervention. Add AI steps and human-approval gates in Ceven to improve reliability.
Validate in Parallel
Run your Thunkable apps and Ceven workflows in parallel using real data. Ensure the outcomes match and that the Ceven version handles edge cases better.
Schedule and Cut Over
Once validated, schedule the final cutover. Monitor the Ceven workflows closely during the transition to address any issues promptly.
Why teams switch from Thunkable to Ceven
Teams often switch from Thunkable to Ceven because they need more than just mobile app building. Ceven offers a comprehensive AI workflow automation platform that can handle end-to-end processes, including scheduling, AI steps, and human-approval gates. This makes it a more versatile tool for businesses looking to automate complex workflows.
Additionally, Ceven's ability to build and host no-code pages and apps, combined with its extensive integration library, provides a more scalable solution for teams that need to connect multiple services and tools.
What moves over and what doesn't
When migrating from Thunkable to Ceven, the core outcomes of your apps can be replicated, but the exact logic and UI elements will need to be rebuilt. Data flows and integrations can be recreated using Ceven's extensive library of 1,000+ tools. However, the visual design and specific UI components from Thunkable will need to be redesigned in Ceven's no-code page builder.
AI-assisted logic and human-approval gates in Ceven can enhance the robustness of your workflows, making them more reliable and less prone to errors. This is a significant upgrade from Thunkable's capabilities.
Avoiding the common pitfalls
One common pitfall is trying to recreate your Thunkable apps one-for-one in Ceven. Instead, focus on the outcomes and use Ceven's advanced features to build more capable workflows. Another pitfall is skipping the parallel validation phase. Running both systems in parallel ensures a smooth transition and helps identify any issues before the final cutover.
Ensure you add human-approval gates for critical actions, especially when writing to systems of record. This adds an extra layer of security and reliability to your workflows. Finally, take advantage of Ceven's scheduling capabilities to automate your workflows effectively.
