Keep your automation workflows backed up and synced with GitHub

Automatically keeps your automation workflows in sync between your system and GitHub, so nothing is lost.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; runs once per each automation workflow item.

The problem it solves

Losing track of which version of an automation is the real one, because changes happen in different places, creates confusing conflicts. You risk losing work if something breaks and there's no recent backup saved anywhere else.

Who it fits

Automation administrators and IT teams who need reliable backups and version history.

How it works

  1. On a weekly schedule, the system checks your automations against your GitHub repository
  2. It finds anything that only exists in one place and copies it to the other
  3. For items in both, it compares timestamps and keeps the newest version
  4. GitHub is updated with a timestamped backup, or your system is updated from GitHub
  5. You always have a synced, versioned copy in both places
What you get

Workflows that are never lost to a bad day

Your automation workflows stay backed up and versioned between your system and GitHub around the clock.

What you get

A GitHub repository containing an always up-to-date backup of your automations.

What you need

A GitHub account with a repository, and API access to your automation system.

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.
