How to Migrate from WeWeb to Ceven
WeWeb is an AI-assisted no-code platform for building production web apps with a separate backend and exportable code.
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 WeWeb to Ceven in 5 steps
Inventory Your Workflows
Start by listing all the workflows and automations you have built in WeWeb. Identify the outcomes you want to achieve with Ceven, not the individual steps. This will help you rethink and optimize your processes.
Connect the Same Apps in Ceven
Ceven connects to the same 1,000+ apps that WeWeb does, including databases, APIs, and other services. Start by connecting the same apps in Ceven, ensuring you have the same data sources and destinations.
Rebuild Your Workflows in Ceven
Use the outcomes you identified to rebuild your workflows in Ceven. Focus on the end results rather than recreating each step from WeWeb. Add AI steps and human-approval gates where WeWeb was brittle or lacked control.
Validate in Parallel
Run both WeWeb and Ceven in parallel on real data. This ensures that Ceven is working correctly and that you can catch any issues before fully switching over. Use human-approval gates on writes to systems of record.
Schedule and Cut Over
Once you have validated that Ceven is working as expected, schedule a cutover date. Inform your team and stakeholders, and ensure a smooth transition to the new system. Monitor the workflows closely after the cutover to address any issues promptly.
Why teams switch from WeWeb to Ceven
Teams often switch from WeWeb to Ceven when they need more robust workflow automation capabilities. While WeWeb excels at building production web apps, Ceven offers advanced AI steps and human-approval gates that can handle complex workflows with greater control and reliability.
Additionally, Ceven's ability to connect to 1,000+ tools and run end-to-end workflows on a schedule makes it a powerful choice for teams looking to automate their processes beyond what WeWeb offers.
What moves over and what doesn't
When migrating from WeWeb to Ceven, the focus is on rebuilding and optimizing workflows and automations, not on moving the actual web apps or code. Your workflows and automations will need to be recreated in Ceven, but this process allows you to consolidate and streamline your processes.
Data and app logic built in WeWeb will not automatically transfer to Ceven. You will need to connect the same apps and rebuild the workflows from scratch, which can be an opportunity to improve and optimize your processes.
Avoiding the common pitfalls
One of the most common pitfalls is trying to recreate the workflows one-for-one from WeWeb to Ceven. Instead, focus on the outcomes you want to achieve and rebuild the workflows in a way that leverages Ceven's unique capabilities. This approach often results in more efficient and effective workflows.
Another pitfall is not running both systems in parallel during the transition. This can lead to missed issues and a bumpy cutover. Always validate Ceven's workflows on real data before fully switching over, and use human-approval gates to ensure data integrity.
Frequently asked
Can Ceven automatically import my workflows from WeWeb?
No, Ceven does not support automatic import of workflows from WeWeb. You will need to rebuild your workflows in Ceven, which can be an opportunity to consolidate and optimize your processes.
How do I handle data that is currently in WeWeb?
Since Ceven is not a database or app builder, you will need to keep your data in WeWeb or another system of record. Ceven can connect to these systems and automate the busywork around them, such as enrichment, follow-ups, syncing, and reporting.
What if I encounter issues during the migration?
Ceven offers robust support and documentation to help you through the migration process. If you encounter any issues, reach out to Ceven's support team for assistance. Additionally, running both WeWeb and Ceven in parallel can help you catch and address any issues before fully switching over.
