Automatically back up all your automations to Google Drive daily

Every day, all your automations are saved as files to Google Drive so nothing is lost if something breaks.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per each automation in use.

The problem it solves

If your automations disappear or get corrupted, you could lose critical business processes with no way to recover them. Manually exporting and saving backups is easy to forget and rarely happens consistently.

Who it fits

Any business that relies on automated workflows to run day-to-day operations.

How it works

  1. Runs automatically every night, or on demand
  2. Creates a new dated backup folder in Google Drive
  3. Collects every automation currently in use
  4. Saves each one as a file in the folder
  5. Removes old backup folders to keep storage tidy
What you get

Workflows you never have to rebuild from scratch

Every automation you rely on gets backed up automatically each night so your setup is always recoverable.

What you get

A dated folder of backup files in Google Drive containing every automation in use.

What you need

A Google Drive account and access to your automation platform's data.

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.
