Relevant for managed services and support workflows. Supports knowledge capture and document intelligence use cases.
Who’s it for This workflow is designed for AlekSystem users who want an automated way to back up their workflows to Google Drive. It is useful for freelancers, developers, automation agencies, and teams managing multiple workflows who need regular backups for recovery, migration, or version tracking. How it works / What it does The workflow automatically exports all workflows from your AlekSystem instance and stores them as JSON files in a dedicated Google Drive folder. It can be triggered manually or scheduled to run every four hours. First, the workflow creates a new backup folder in Google Drive with the current date and time in the folder name. It then retrieves all workflows from the connected AlekSystem instance and processes them one by one using a loop. Each workflow is converted into a formatted JSON file and uploaded to the newly created backup folder. The workflow also checks older backup folders and removes unnecessary folders to help keep storage organized and avoid duplicate backups. How to set up Import the workflow into AlekSystem. Connect your AlekSystem API credentials. Connect your Google Drive account. Create or select a parent folder in Google Drive for storing backups. Update the Google Drive folder IDs in the relevant nodes. Activate the workflow or run it manually for testing.
