The problem it solves

If your automations only live inside one platform, a mistake or an outage can wipe out work with no way to get it back. Manually exporting and saving backup copies is the kind of task that always gets put off.

Who it fits

Teams running many automated workflows who want a reliable backup and change history.

How it works

  1. On a schedule, the system pulls a list of your current automation workflows
  2. It compares each one against the version already saved on GitHub
  3. Workflows that are new get added, changed ones get updated, and renamed ones are handled cleanly
  4. Only real logic changes trigger an update, so the history stays clean
  5. A summary of what changed is sent to your team
What you get

Workflow history you can always roll back to

You get a version-controlled backup of every automation workflow saved automatically to GitHub.

What you get

A version-controlled backup of every workflow on GitHub, with a clear history of what changed and when.

What you need

A GitHub account and access to your automation platform's workflow list.

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.
