Marketing Automation #787: Backup Automation with Discord + GitHub + Budibase

Problem

Campaign and backup automation data often sit in Discord while reporting lives in GitHub, forcing duplicate updates.

The workflow below routes events once and keeps channel data aligned.

Workflow

Event in Discord → validate payload → update GitHub → log outcome for review.

Tools Used
