The problem it solves

Losing your automations to a server crash or accidental deletion means rebuilding everything from scratch. You want a safety net that saves your work automatically instead of remembering to export it yourself.

Who it fits

Operations teams or solo operators who rely on automated workflows for daily tasks.

How it works

  1. On a schedule, the process starts and pulls the latest repository from GitHub
  2. It exports all current workflows and settings
  3. Changes are committed and pushed to your GitHub repository
  4. For a restore, it imports the saved workflows and settings back into place
  5. You end up with a version history of every backup in GitHub
What you get

Workflow versions saved automatically

Your automations and settings get backed up to GitHub on schedule, giving you a full version history to restore from.

What you get

A version-controlled backup of your automations stored in GitHub, ready to restore if something breaks.

What you need

A GitHub account with a repository set up for backups.

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.
