Cross-tool data sync

Ceven watches records in your CRMs, spreadsheets, and databases, drafts the updates needed to keep them aligned, and writes them only after a person approves.

Why the same record drifts out of sync

Most teams keep the same customer or project in several places at once, and those copies drift apart the moment anyone edits one of them. A deal updates in Salesforce but not in the Airtable tracker, a contact changes in HubSpot but the Google Sheets export is now wrong, and a status in Notion no longer matches any of them. People paper over the gaps with manual copy-paste, which is slow and error-prone, or they build brittle point-to-point automations that break the first time a field is renamed. When the copies disagree, nobody trusts any of them, and every meeting starts with an argument about whose number is right. The cost is not one big failure but a constant low tax on everyone who touches the data.

How Ceven keeps the copies aligned

You describe the alignment you want in plain language, and Ceven builds a workflow that watches the systems that hold the shared record and works out where they disagree. It reads from Airtable, Google Sheets, Salesforce, HubSpot, and Notion, compares the fields you care about, and computes exactly which updates would bring the laggards into line. AI steps handle the messy parts, like matching records that are the same entity under slightly different names and deciding which source should win for a given field. Because Ceven runs around the tools you already use, none of them is demoted to a mirror; each stays a real system while Ceven reconciles across them. What comes back is a clear list of proposed writes, each one naming the record, the field, the old value, and the new value.

Every write is proposed, not silently applied

Writing to another team's system is an externally visible action, so Ceven holds it at an approval gate. The proposed changes land in front of an owner who can see each write in plain terms, adjust or drop individual updates, and then approve, edit, or reject the batch. This stops a bad match or a wrong winner rule from quietly overwriting good data in Salesforce or HubSpot. Only after approval does the workflow apply the writes, and it can pause for a fresh sign-off whenever the change set is unusually large. Every run is written to an exportable audit trail, so there is always a record of what changed, in which system, and who approved it.

Getting started and what it connects to

You can start free with no credit card, connect the systems that hold your shared records, and describe how you want them kept in step. Ceven builds the workflow across a library of more than a thousand tools, so adding another destination later is a change in plain language rather than a new integration project. The same foundation supports cleaning up duplicates, feeding a trustworthy dashboard, or cutting out re-keying between tools entirely. Ceven never becomes the system of record; your CRMs, sheets, and databases stay in charge while Ceven runs the reconciliation around them. When a field or a rule changes, you update the workflow in plain language and the sync follows.

Frequently asked

Does it change my systems automatically?

No. Ceven proposes each write and holds it at an approval gate, so a person reviews the exact changes before anything is written to another system.

Which systems can it sync between?

It works across tools like Airtable, Google Sheets, Salesforce, HubSpot, and Notion, and connects to more than a thousand tools in all, so it fits your current stack.

Does Ceven become the master copy of our data?

No. Each connected tool stays the system of record for its own data, Ceven reconciles around them, and every run is written to an exportable audit trail.

How does it match records that are named differently?

AI steps compare the fields you choose to identify the same entity across systems, and any uncertain match is included in the proposal for a person to confirm before a write happens.
