Why You Need This Right Now 💡

Stop the panic attacks. We've all been there - accidentally deleted a workflow that took hours to build, or worse, corrupted your entire automation setup. This workflow is your safety net.

Save your weekends. Instead of spending hours recreating lost work, get back to what matters. One setup protects everything, automatically.

Sleep better at night. Your workflows are safely stored in two places with full version history. If something breaks, you're back online in minutes, not days.

Perfect For These Situations ⚡

Business owners running critical automations
Agencies managing client workflows
Teams who need audit trails
Anyone who values their time and sanity

How It Actually Works 🔧

Think of it like having a personal assistant who:

  1. Checks your workflows twice daily (you can change this)
  2. Creates organized backups with timestamps
  3. Stores them safely in Google Drive AND GitHub
  4. Tells you it's done via Telegram or Discord
  5. Keeps everything tidy with smart folder organization

The result? A timestamped folder in your Google Drive and organized files in your GitHub repo. Everything is searchable, restorable, and audit-ready.

Quick 5-Minute Setup 🚀

  1. Import this workflow to your n8n
  2. Connect your accounts (Google Drive, GitHub, optional notifications)
  3. Set your preferences (which folder, which repo, how often)
  4. Test it once to make sure everything works
  5. Relax knowing your workflows are protected

What You'll Need 📋

  • Your n8n instance (obviously!)
  • Google Drive account (free works fine)
  • GitHub account (free works too)
  • 5 minutes of setup time
  • Optional: Telegram or Discord for notifications

Pro Tips for Power Users 🧠

Want to level up? Here are some ideas:

  • Add encryption for sensitive workflows
  • Create restore workflows for one-click recovery
  • Set up pull requests for team review of changes
  • Customize schedules based on your workflow update frequency
