Automatically back up your automated workflows every night

Every night, your automation setup is backed up to Google Drive and old backups are cleaned up automatically.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per one per workflow.

The problem it solves

You've built automated processes that your business now depends on, but if something breaks or gets accidentally changed, you have no easy way to recover the working version. Manually exporting and saving backups is a chore you keep meaning to get to.

Who it fits

Best for business owners or operators who rely on automated workflows and want peace of mind that they're protected.

How it works

  1. The backup runs automatically every night
  2. The current version of every workflow is saved as a file
  3. Files are stored in a dated Google Drive folder
  4. Older backups are moved aside and eventually deleted
What you get

Workflows you know are safe every single night

Every night your automation workflows get backed up to Google Drive automatically, with old backups tidied up on their own.

What you get

A dated, organized set of backup files stored safely in Google Drive.

What you need

A Google Drive account with API access enabled.

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.
