The problem it solves

As you build out more automations, the list gets cluttered with old or unused ones that just slow things down and make it hard to find what's active. Deleting them feels risky without a backup, so they tend to just pile up.

Who it fits

A business or operations team managing a growing collection of automated workflows.

How it works

  1. A workflow's link is submitted through a form
  2. Its full setup is retrieved and saved as a backup file
  3. The backup file is uploaded to a Google Drive folder
  4. The original workflow is deleted from the system
  5. You get a message confirming the backup and deletion
What you get

Old workflows cleared out without losing the record

Retire an automation with confidence, knowing its full setup is safely backed up to Google Drive before it's removed.

What you get

A safely archived backup file in Google Drive and a cleaned-up list of active workflows.

What you need

A Google Drive account and a Telegram account for confirmation messages.

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.
