Back up your automated workflows to GitHub every day

Every day, this saves a copy of all your automations to GitHub so you never lose a workflow to an accident.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; runs once per each automation in the account.

The problem it solves

You've built automations that your business now depends on, but there's no safety net if one gets deleted or broken by an update. Without version history, you can't see what changed or roll back to a working version.

Who it fits

An operations or IT team that relies on business automations and wants a backup and version history.

How it works

  1. Runs automatically each day or whenever you trigger it
  2. Pulls the current list of automations from your system
  3. Compares each one against what's already saved in GitHub
  4. Creates or updates a file in GitHub for anything new or changed
What you get

Workflows you never have to rebuild from scratch

Your automations get backed up to GitHub every day, so you always have a safe version to fall back on.

What you get

A version-controlled backup of every automation in GitHub.

What you need

A GitHub account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
