Back up all your automations to Google Drive every day

Every automation you've built gets exported and saved to a dated Google Drive folder automatically, so nothing is ever lost.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per each automation in the account.

The problem it solves

If your automation platform ever glitches, gets deleted by accident, or an account gets locked, you could lose every process you've built without a copy anywhere else. Rebuilding automations from scratch is slow and some details are impossible to remember exactly.

Who it fits

An agency, developer, or operations team that manages multiple business automations and can't afford to lose them.

How it works

  1. Runs automatically on a daily schedule, or whenever you run it manually
  2. Pulls a full copy of every automation you have set up
  3. Creates a new dated folder in Google Drive
  4. Saves a copy of each automation into that folder
What you get

Automations you never have to rebuild from scratch

You get a dated backup of every automation you've built, saved automatically to Google Drive every day.

What you get

A dated Google Drive archive containing a full backup of every automation.

What you need

A Google Drive 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.
