The problem it solves

You've spent real time building automations that run parts of your business, but if something breaks or gets accidentally changed, you have no way to get back to a working version. Losing that work means rebuilding it from scratch.

Who it fits

Operations teams or automation admins responsible for maintaining custom business automations.

How it works

  1. You run the backup whenever you want a fresh snapshot
  2. A dated folder is created in Google Drive
  3. Every current automation is retrieved
  4. Each one is saved as its own file inside the dated folder
What you get

Workflows you never have to rebuild

Every automation you rely on gets backed up into a dated Google Drive folder, so a lost or broken workflow is never a scramble to rebuild.

What you get

An organized, dated archive in Google Drive that you can restore from if something breaks.

What you need

A Google Drive account connected to your automation platform.

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.
