The problem it solves

If your automation platform ever crashes or someone accidentally deletes a workflow, you could lose the setups your business depends on. Rebuilding everything from scratch, or worse, not being able to, is a risk you don't want to discover the hard way.

Who it fits

Businesses that rely on automated workflows and want a safety net in case something breaks or gets deleted.

How it works

  1. On a set day each week, the system exports your full automation setup
  2. Older backups are moved into a dated archive folder
  3. The new backup is uploaded to Dropbox
  4. Backups older than 30 days are automatically deleted
  5. You get a status message confirming the backup completed
What you get

A safety net if automations ever break

You get a fresh backup of your entire automation setup saved to Dropbox every week, with old backups tidied up automatically.

What you get

A current backup of your automation setup stored safely in Dropbox, with old versions cleaned up automatically.

What you need

A Dropbox account and access to your automation platform's backup files.

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.
