Back up and restore your automations to GitHub automatically

Automatically backs up your automations to GitHub every day and can restore them if something goes wrong.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per each detected change.

Pattern: Sequence (1) ยท Multiple Instances without Synchronization (12)

The problem it solves

Losing an automation you built, whether by accident or a system failure, means rebuilding it from scratch. Without a backup, one bad edit or outage can wipe out hours of setup work.

Who it fits

Operations and IT teams who rely on automations and want a safety net if something breaks.

How it works

  1. A daily schedule checks all current automations
  2. New, changed, renamed, and deleted automations are detected
  3. Each change is saved to GitHub with a clear description of what changed
  4. If needed, all automations can be restored from GitHub in one run
What you get

Automations you never have to rebuild from scratch

You get a daily safety net that keeps every version of your automations backed up and ready to restore in one click.

What you get

A GitHub backup of every automation, plus the ability to restore them on demand.

What you need

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

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.
