How to Migrate from ToolJet to Ceven
ToolJet is an open-source low-code platform for building internal tools, dashboards, workflows, and AI agents using a visual builder. It's a powerful tool for creating custom applications and automating tasks within your organization.
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. This guide will walk you through the process of migrating your workflows and automations from ToolJet to Ceven.
Migrate from ToolJet to Ceven in 7 steps
Inventory Your Workflows
Start by taking stock of all the workflows and automations you have built in ToolJet. List them by outcome and priority, noting which are critical to your operations and which can be consolidated or improved.
Connect the Same Apps in Ceven
Ceven connects to 1,000+ tools. Begin by connecting the same apps and services in Ceven that you have connected in ToolJet. This ensures that your data flows and integrations remain seamless.
Describe the Outcome to Rebuild
Instead of recreating each workflow one-for-one, focus on the outcomes you want to achieve. Use Ceven's visual builder to describe the desired outcomes and design workflows that achieve them more efficiently.
Add AI Steps and Approval Gates
Leverage Ceven's AI capabilities to add intelligent steps to your workflows. Where ToolJet may have been brittle, Ceven can introduce AI-driven decisions and human-approval gates to ensure accuracy and compliance.
Validate in Parallel
Run both ToolJet and Ceven in parallel on real data. This allows you to validate that Ceven is producing the expected outcomes before making the full switch. Use human-approval gates on writes to systems of record to ensure data integrity.
Schedule and Cut Over
Once you are confident that Ceven is working as expected, schedule the final cutover. Communicate the change to your team and ensure a smooth transition with minimal disruption to your operations.
Review and Optimize
After the migration, review your workflows in Ceven and look for opportunities to optimize further. Ceven's advanced features and AI capabilities can help you streamline your processes and improve efficiency.
Why teams switch from ToolJet to Ceven
Teams often switch from ToolJet to Ceven for several reasons. Ceven offers a more comprehensive set of features, including AI-driven automation, human-approval gates, and advanced scheduling capabilities. These features allow teams to build more robust and intelligent workflows that can handle complex tasks with greater efficiency.
Additionally, Ceven's ability to connect to a vast array of tools and services makes it a versatile platform for automating a wide range of tasks. This flexibility allows teams to consolidate their workflows into fewer, more capable automations, reducing the overall complexity of their operations.
What moves over and what doesn't
When migrating from ToolJet to Ceven, the focus is on rebuilding your workflows and automations. This means that the actual workflow logic and integrations need to be recreated in Ceven. However, the data and configurations within ToolJet do not automatically transfer to Ceven.
What does move over is the knowledge and experience you have gained from using ToolJet. This expertise will be invaluable in designing and optimizing your workflows in Ceven. Additionally, any custom code or scripts used in ToolJet can be adapted and integrated into Ceven's platform, although this may require some reworking.
Avoiding the common pitfalls
One of the most common pitfalls in migrating from ToolJet to Ceven is attempting to recreate each workflow one-for-one. Instead, focus on the desired outcomes and design workflows in Ceven that achieve these outcomes more efficiently. This approach allows you to take full advantage of Ceven's advanced features and capabilities.
Another pitfall is rushing the migration process. Take the time to validate your workflows in Ceven by running them in parallel with ToolJet. This ensures that Ceven is producing the expected outcomes before making the full switch. Additionally, communicate the migration plan to your team and ensure they are prepared for the transition.
Frequently asked
Can Ceven auto-import my workflows from ToolJet?
No, Ceven does not offer an auto-import feature for workflows from ToolJet. Migrating involves rebuilding your workflows on the Ceven platform, which often results in fewer, more capable automations.
Will I lose any data during the migration?
Since Ceven does not replace your system of record, you will not lose any data during the migration. However, you will need to reauthorize the same connected apps in Ceven and ensure that your data flows remain seamless.
How long does the migration process typically take?
The duration of the migration process depends on the complexity and number of workflows you have in ToolJet. It is recommended to allocate sufficient time for rebuilding, validating, and optimizing your workflows in Ceven. Running both platforms in parallel on real data is crucial to ensure a smooth transition.
