The problem it solves

If your automation platform goes down or someone accidentally breaks a workflow, you need a recent backup to fall back on. Doing backups by hand is easy to forget, which leaves you exposed right when you need a working copy most.

Who it fits

Teams running business automations who want a safety net if a workflow gets lost or corrupted.

How it works

  1. Runs on a schedule or whenever you trigger it
  2. Pulls the current version of your automation workflows
  3. Saves each one to Dropbox with version history
  4. Keeps a running archive you can restore from at any time
What you get

Workflows you never have to rebuild from scratch

Your automation workflows are saved with dated versions in Dropbox, so a recent, restorable copy is always waiting if something breaks.

What you get

A version-controlled backup of your automation workflows stored in Dropbox.

What you need

A Dropbox account with API access.

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.
