The problem it solves

If you rely on automations to run parts of your business and one gets accidentally deleted or broken, you could lose hours of setup work with no way to get it back. Manually exporting and saving backups is the kind of chore that never actually happens.

Who it fits

Agencies or operations teams who depend on multiple automations and can't afford to lose the setup work behind them.

How it works

  1. Runs on a schedule, such as every Monday morning
  2. Creates a new dated folder in Google Drive
  3. Pulls a full list of your automations
  4. Saves each one as its own file
  5. Uploads every file into the new folder and clears out old backups
What you get

Automation setups you never rebuild from scratch

You get a dated backup of every automation you run, stored safely in Google Drive each week.

What you get

A dated Google Drive folder holding a full backup of every automation.

What you need

A Google Drive account and admin access to your automation platform.

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.
