Data entry elimination

Ceven takes the copy-paste work of moving data between your tools and turns it into a workflow that proposes each write for a person to approve.

Why so much of the day is just re-typing

A surprising share of knowledge work is really just moving the same data from one tool into another by hand. A form response gets typed into Salesforce, an approved invoice is re-keyed into QuickBooks, a row from a spreadsheet is copied into Airtable, and a note is pasted into Notion. None of it requires judgment, yet it consumes hours, and every hop is a chance to fat-finger a value or drop a record. Because it is boring, it also gets deprioritized, so queues back up and the systems fall out of date with each other. The people doing it were hired to think, not to act as a slow and unreliable bridge between tools that will not talk to each other.

How Ceven carries the data across

You describe the hand-off you keep doing in plain language, and Ceven builds a workflow that carries the data across for you. It reads from the source, whether that is a Google Sheets row, an Airtable record, or a Salesforce object, maps the fields to the destination, and prepares the write into QuickBooks, Notion, or wherever the data needs to go. AI steps handle the parts that used to require a human, like reformatting a value, classifying a record, or filling a field that has to be inferred rather than copied. Because Ceven runs around the tools you already use, each system stays in charge of its own data and the workflow simply removes the manual bridge between them. What used to be a daily copy-paste chore becomes a workflow that runs on a trigger or a schedule.

The write is proposed before it happens

Even though the goal is to remove manual effort, Ceven still treats any write to another system as something a person approves. The proposed entries are shown in plain terms, and an owner can check them, correct anything off, and then approve, edit, or reject before the workflow writes. For high-trust, low-risk flows you can keep the review light, but the gate is always there so a bad batch never lands in Salesforce or QuickBooks unseen. Only after approval does the workflow commit the data to its destination. Every run is written to an exportable audit trail, so there is a record of what moved, where it went, and who signed off.

Getting started and what it connects to

You can start free with no credit card, connect the tools you keep re-keying between, and describe the hand-off you want to stop doing by hand. Ceven builds the workflow across a library of more than a thousand tools, so each new chore you hand over is a plain-language change rather than a project. The same approach underlies keeping systems in sync, pulling data out of PDFs, and cleaning duplicates out of a CRM. Ceven never becomes the system of record; your spreadsheets, CRM, and accounting tools stay in charge while Ceven runs the movement around them. When the hand-off changes, you adjust the workflow in words instead of maintaining a fragile script.

Frequently asked

Does it write into my systems automatically?

No. Ceven proposes each write and holds it at an approval gate, so a person can review the entries before anything lands in your systems.

Which tools can it move data between?

It works across tools like Google Sheets, Airtable, Salesforce, QuickBooks, and Notion, and connects to more than a thousand tools in all.

Does the data pass through Ceven for good?

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

What if a field needs judgment, not just copying?

AI steps can reformat, classify, or infer the value that a person used to supply, and anything uncertain is surfaced at the approval gate for a human to confirm.
