Backendless Integration & Workflow Automation

When an AI workflow deletes the wrong file in your development backend, the data is gone, and the user sees a broken app. With no undo across many Backendless operations, every destructive change needs a hard stop.

When Backendless runs unsupervised

A single unsupervised action can corrupt production data. These operations reach users, remove data, or alter critical configs without a safety net.

• Delete File: removing an asset referenced across your app without review causes broken images or missing downloads.
• Revoke Permission from User: a missed review could lock a developer or admin out of their own backend for hours.
• Delete Directory: wiping an entire folder of logs, uploads, or config files silently removes evidence and breaks linked automations.
• Set Counter Value: altering a production counter without oversight skews dashboards, billing reports, and rate limits.
• Delete Backendless Timer: removing a scheduled job that syncs data or cleans sessions can stall downstream processes and delay customer-facing updates.

What Rills does inside Backendless

For Backendless automation that touches files, permissions, counters, and timers, Rills inserts a mandatory approval step. Proposals to delete a file, revoke a user’s permissions, or reset a counter land in a mobile queue instead of executing immediately. Every approval leaves a decision record.

The file still gets deleted; you just confirm it first.

Why Backendless has no triggers and how Rills fills the gap

Backendless doesn’t fire events when records change, so you can’t trigger workflows directly from new files or counter updates. Rills compensates with scheduled polling and upstream patterns that still let you gate Backendless changes.

• Poll a Backendless counter’s value on a schedule and trigger an approval step when it exceeds a threshold, before anyone can adjust it.
• Run a routine cleanup workflow that proposes deleting files older than 30 days, and queue each deletion for review.
• Use an upstream event from your CRM or helpdesk to initiate a Backendless permission check, then gate the revocation proposal behind an approval card.
• Trigger a sync from a third-party tool, then run the AI proposal series with Rills overseeing any directory moves or file copies.
