Automated Bolt.new Project Backups

Every night, WebRun opens Bolt.new, lists the projects that changed today, exports each one, saves a dated copy into a Google Drive backup folder, and sends a Twilio text only if a project fails to export cleanly.

In short

How do I keep a backup of my Bolt.new projects automatically?

Every night, WebRun opens Bolt.new, exports each project that changed that day, and saves a dated copy into a Google Drive backup folder that keeps 30 days of history. If a project fails to export, it sends a Twilio text naming it, so a lost session never means lost work with no warning.

  • 30 days of recoverable project history sits in Google Drive
  • A failed export gets a same-night text instead of going unnoticed
  • Backups happen with zero manual exporting

What does WebRun do on every run?

Good to know

Questions, answered

Does it change or deploy any of my Bolt.new projects?

No. WebRun only reads and exports project files for backup. Publishing or changing a project stays something you do yourself in Bolt.new.

Will I hear from it every night even when nothing fails?

No. The Twilio text only goes out on a night a project fails to export. Clean backups happen quietly with no message.

How long is backup history kept?

30 days of dated copies stay in the Google Drive folder, so you can recover an earlier version of a project if you need one.
