Automatically back up your automation workflows to GitHub

Detects changes in your automations and pushes updated backups to a private GitHub repository automatically.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; runs once per each automation workflow; a person is alerted when a step fails.

The problem it solves

You've built automations that your business depends on, but if something breaks or gets accidentally changed, you have no easy way to roll back. Manually exporting and saving backups is easy to forget and even easier to skip. Losing a critical workflow with no backup can mean rebuilding it from scratch.

Who it fits

Businesses relying on automated workflows who need a reliable backup and version history.

How it works

  1. Checks your automations on a schedule
  2. Compares each one against the last saved backup
  3. Skips anything unchanged, so history stays clean
  4. Pushes updated workflows to a private GitHub repository
  5. Sends an alert if a backup ever fails
What you get

Workflow history you never worry about losing

You get a private, version-controlled backup of your automations that updates itself whenever something changes.

What you get

A version-controlled backup of your automations in a private GitHub repository.

What you need

A GitHub account and access to your automation platform's API.

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.
