Automated Adalo Database Backups
Every Sunday night, WebRun opens your Adalo app, exports each database collection to CSV, files the files in a dated Google Drive folder, and emails you a receipt listing every collection saved and its record count.
How do I automatically back up my Adalo app database every week?
WebRun backs up your Adalo database every Sunday night. It opens the Adalo editor, exports each collection to CSV, files the files in a dated Google Drive folder, and emails you a receipt listing every collection, its record count, and the change since last week, so you always have a restore point.
- A restorable copy of every collection saved every week
- Record count drops surface in the receipt before users notice
- Backups land in dated Drive folders with no manual exporting

How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Does it change anything inside my Adalo app?
No. WebRun only runs the read-only CSV export on each collection. It never edits, adds, or deletes a record, and it never touches your screens, actions, or published app.
Will it email anyone else the backup receipt?
No. The receipt is drafted to you and only you, and it stays in Drafts unless you approve sending. Customer data is never mailed outside your own inbox.
How far back does the history go?
As far as you keep it. Each run creates a new dated folder in Google Drive and leaves older folders untouched, so you can restore from any previous week you have kept.
