Automatically back up your Typebot chatbot flows to GitHub

Keeps a GitHub copy of every chatbot flow in sync automatically, so you never lose your work if something breaks.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; runs once per each chatbot flow.

The problem it solves

If your chatbot builder ever goes down or an account gets locked, months of carefully built conversation flows can vanish with it. You have no backup outside the platform, so recovering from a mistake or an outage means starting over.

Who it fits

Teams running customer-facing chatbots who need a safety net and version history outside their chatbot platform.

How it works

  1. A scheduled check pulls every chatbot flow from your account.
  2. Each flow is compared against what is already stored in GitHub.
  3. New or changed flows are saved as updated files, and flows that were deleted are removed to stay in sync.
  4. You end up with an always-current backup of every chatbot flow, ready to restore if anything is lost.
What you get

Chatbot flows you never lose

You always have a current, version-tracked copy of every chatbot flow ready to restore if anything goes wrong.

What you get

An up-to-date, version-controlled backup of every chatbot flow stored safely outside the chatbot platform.

What you need

A Typebot account and a GitHub account with a repository to store the backups.

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.
