How to Migrate from Workflow86 to Ceven
Migrating from Workflow86 to Ceven involves rebuilding your workflows and re-authorizing your connected apps. This guide will walk you through the process, ensuring a smooth transition.
Workflow86 is a no-code platform that generates agentic workflows automating business processes from a prompt. Ceven, on the other hand, 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 Workflow86 to Ceven in 6 steps
Inventory Your Workflows
Start by listing all your Workflow86 workflows. Group them by outcome, not by the steps they take. This will help you identify high-level goals and streamline the migration process.
Connect Your Apps in Ceven
Re-authorize the same apps you used in Workflow86 within Ceven. Ensure you have the necessary permissions and access to all required tools and data sources.
Rebuild Your Workflows
Describe the outcomes you want to achieve in Ceven, rather than recreating each step from Workflow86. Use Ceven's features to build more robust and flexible workflows.
Add AI Steps and Approval Gates
Enhance your workflows by adding AI steps and human-approval gates where Workflow86 was brittle. This will make your processes more reliable and secure.
Validate in Parallel
Run both Workflow86 and Ceven in parallel on real data. This allows you to compare results and ensure Ceven's workflows are functioning as expected before fully switching over.
Schedule and Cut Over
Once you are confident in Ceven's workflows, schedule a cutover. Communicate the change to your team and ensure a smooth transition with minimal disruption.
Why teams switch from Workflow86 to Ceven
Teams often switch from Workflow86 to Ceven because of Ceven's broader range of integrations and more flexible workflow capabilities. Ceven's ability to connect to 1,000+ tools and run end-to-end workflows on a schedule with AI steps and human-approval gates provides a more comprehensive solution for complex business processes.
Additionally, Ceven's ability to build and host no-code pages/apps adds another layer of functionality that Workflow86 does not offer. This makes Ceven a more versatile platform for teams looking to automate and streamline their workflows.
What moves over and what doesn't
When migrating from Workflow86 to Ceven, the workflow logic and outcomes can be recreated, but the specific steps and configurations will need to be rebuilt. Connected apps will need to be re-authorized, and workflows will need to be redesigned to take advantage of Ceven's features.
Data and historical information from Workflow86 will not automatically transfer to Ceven. You will need to ensure that all necessary data is available and accessible within Ceven to maintain continuity in your workflows.
Avoiding the common pitfalls
One common pitfall is attempting to recreate each step from Workflow86 exactly as it was. Instead, focus on the outcomes and use Ceven's features to build more robust and flexible workflows. This approach will help you take full advantage of Ceven's capabilities.
Another pitfall is not validating the workflows in parallel. Running both systems simultaneously allows you to compare results and ensure that Ceven's workflows are functioning correctly before fully switching over. This step is crucial for a smooth transition.
Frequently asked
Can Ceven automatically import my Workflow86 workflows?
No, Ceven does not support automatic import from Workflow86. You will need to rebuild your workflows in Ceven, which often results in fewer, more capable workflows.
How long does the migration process typically take?
The migration process can vary depending on the complexity of your workflows and the number of integrations. Generally, it can take a few weeks to a few months to fully migrate and validate your workflows.
What kind of support does Ceven offer during the migration process?
Ceven offers comprehensive support during the migration process, including documentation, tutorials, and direct support from their team. They can help you design and implement your workflows effectively.
