The problem it solves

Your automated processes represent hours of setup work, but you have no backup if something gets accidentally changed or deleted. Manually exporting and saving copies is a chore that is easy to forget.

Who it fits

A business or operations team that relies on automated workflows and wants protection against accidental loss.

How it works

  1. On a schedule, the system checks all your active automations
  2. It looks at which ones were updated recently
  3. Each recently updated automation is saved as a file
  4. The files are uploaded to a designated Google Drive folder
What you get

Workflows you can restore after an accidental change

You get your recently updated automations backed up to Google Drive automatically on a schedule you set.

What you get

A folder in Google Drive containing up-to-date backup copies of your recently changed automations.

What you need

A Google Drive 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.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
