1.Monitors raw backup payloads
Integrate Webhooks by Zapier and backup input pipelines to capture payloads and metadata so backups enter your workflow immediately.
Save incoming database backups to secure team drive
Automatically receive raw database backup payloads across Webhooks by Zapier and store them in Google Drive for reliable recovery. Create and update timestamped backup files when backup payloads arrive, metadata includes a valid timestamp, or filenames match—so you can retrieve artifacts, prevent missing backups, and avoid duplicate uploads without manual backup handling.
How this automation secures your backup recovery artifacts
When raw database backup payloads arrive, missing or misplaced backups can slow recovery when engineers need artifacts fast. This automation captures payloads, normalizes filenames and timestamps, and uploads backup files to Google Drive—so your team can restore with less delay.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism — I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
