Automatically back up your automations to Google Drive and GitHub

Twice a day, your automations are saved with timestamps to Google Drive and GitHub, with an alert when it's done.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Every path runs; all paths must finish before it continues; runs once per each automation.

The problem it solves

Losing hours of work because an automation got accidentally deleted or corrupted is a gut punch, and rebuilding it from memory eats your weekend. Without backups, one mistake can undo everything you built.

Who it fits

A good fit for business owners, agencies, or teams whose operations depend on automations they cannot afford to lose.

How it works

  1. On a set schedule, the system checks all of your automations
  2. It creates timestamped backup files for each one
  3. The backups are saved to both Google Drive and GitHub
  4. Files are organized into folders so they are easy to find later
  5. You receive a message confirming the backup is complete
What you get

Days you never lose to rebuilding automations

Keep dependable backups of your automations running quietly in the background across Google Drive and GitHub.

What you get

Timestamped, organized backup copies of your automations in both Google Drive and GitHub, plus a confirmation message.

What you need

A Google Drive account, a GitHub account, and optionally a Discord or messaging account for alerts.

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.
