Back up your automation workflows to GitHub automatically

Every workflow you build gets saved as a file in GitHub, updated when changed and removed when deleted.

How the work actually flows

From the manual situation today to what runs on its own.

The problem it solves

If your automations only live inside one platform, you have no outside backup and no history of what changed. Losing that server, or accidentally deleting a workflow, means starting over from scratch.

Who it fits

Teams running business-critical automations who want a safety net and a change history outside their automation tool.

How it works

  1. The system exports every current workflow from your automation platform
  2. Each workflow is checked against GitHub to see if a matching file already exists
  3. New workflows are added, changed workflows are updated, and unchanged ones are left alone
  4. Workflows that no longer exist are removed from GitHub so the backup stays in sync
What you get

Workflows that survive an accidental deletion

Every automation you build is safely mirrored in GitHub, so you can restore any workflow instantly if something ever gets deleted or changed.

What you get

A GitHub repository that mirrors your live automations, including a history of every change and deletion.

What you need

A GitHub account and access to your automation platform's export feature.

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.
