Back up key records for webhooks
Runs on a schedule across Microsoft Teams, PostgreSQL and Google Drive, branches on the check before anything is written, then writes the result out as a file. Built for webhooks, around a "Export All Rows (PostgreSQL)" step, in 10 documented nodes.
Back up key records with PostgreSQL and Google Drive end to end. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Backup & Archive' pattern for software development & devops. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 10 nodes across Microsoft Teams, PostgreSQL, Google Drive. Retry-on-fail is enabled on external calls. Import the JSON, add your credentials, and adapt the parameters. Your team sees the right data at the right time.
Key benefits
- ✓Keeps Microsoft Teams and PostgreSQL in step for webhooks, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓A failed Microsoft Teams or PostgreSQL call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 10 nodes in this webhooks build
- ✓Fans the same result out to Google Drive in the same run, for webhooks
- ✓Pinned sample data ships with it — run all 10 nodes for webhooks before wiring Microsoft Teams
- ✓10 nodes, each with a doc card explaining what it does for webhooks
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Microsoft Teams and PostgreSQL aligned by hand for webhooks
- →Webhooks work where "Export All Rows (PostgreSQL)" is still a manual step before Microsoft Teams
- →Webhooks work that only reaches Microsoft Teams on a schedule, when someone remembers to start it
Integrations
Workflow preview (10 nodes)
The template's actual node layout and connections. Node parameters and credential slots unlock with the download.
What's inside (10 nodes)
A look at the node types this workflow uses. No purchase required — full parameters and credentials are yours after you buy.
From download to running in 3 steps
- 1Import. In n8n, open Workflows → menu → “Import from File” and pick the downloaded JSON.
- 2Connect. Add your own credentials on the app nodes - n8n highlights exactly which ones need them.
- 3Activate. Run it once to test, then toggle Active. The automation is live.
What you'll learn
Foundation levelA starter-sized build - small enough to hold in your head while you learn the pattern.
- •Exporting a dataset and serializing it to a file
- •Alarming on an empty backup instead of failing silently
- •Moving data between PostgreSQL, Google Drive and Microsoft Teams in a single run
Every node carries its own documentation on the canvas, plus notes explaining why the architecture was built this way, a credential setup guide, troubleshooting, and three practice exercises. Sample data comes pinned to the trigger, so you can hit Execute and watch data flow before connecting a single account.
Common questions
What exactly do I get?
The complete, ready-to-import n8n workflow as a JSON file, delivered instantly after payment. Import it into your own n8n (cloud or self-hosted), add your credentials, and it runs.
How do I import it into n8n?
In n8n, open Workflows, click the three-dot menu, choose “Import from File”, and select the downloaded JSON. Then connect your own app credentials on the highlighted nodes.
Do I need anything else for it to work?
You need your own n8n instance and accounts/credentials for the apps this workflow connects to (Microsoft Teams, PostgreSQL, Google Drive). No coding is required.
What if it doesn't work for me?
If the file is faulty, won't import, or isn't as described, contact us within 7 days and we'll fix it or refund you - see our refund policy.
Can I modify or resell it?
You can freely adapt and use it in your own or your clients' projects. Reselling or redistributing the template file itself is not permitted.
