Hand the Newsman subscribers to a companion
Newsman exposes 3 operations and a companion can work all of them: update a subscriber, create a subscriber and add a subscriber to segment. Anything that changes a record waits for your click.
Open the subscriber. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the Newsman afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing landing on a subscriber until you approve it.
What it can do is exactly what Newsman exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 3 operations, no reads and 3 writes. In practice that means it can update a subscriber, create a subscriber and add a subscriber to segment.
The Newsman API stops at Newsman. A companion does not. The same run opens the customer's website, the supplier portal, the internal tool somebody built in 2019, because it is working the browser you are already signed into rather than calling in from outside it.
Does it read the subscribers or ask you for them?
In the tab.
Newsman exposes no read operation to a connected account, so a companion opens Newsman in the session you are already signed into and reads the screens you would.
The subscribers are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the subscribers. A companion can hold all 3 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of Newsman admin becomes a queue you review.
What happens before it can update subscriber?
All 3 write operations wait for you.
A companion can update a subscriber, create a subscriber and add a subscriber to segment, and each one is staged on an approval card first: you see the subscriber, the field and the new value before it lands in Newsman.
Nothing in Newsman is sent, changed or deleted on your behalf without that click, and a rejected card leaves the subscriber exactly as it was. The gate is the same one on every surface, described at security.
- Update Subscriber
- Create Subscriber
- Add Subscriber To Segment
Does the subscriber sweep have to be asked for every time?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the Newsman subscribers pass runs at the hour you pick: the Monday sweep, the overnight refresh, the Friday check. Keep Awake holds the machine awake for the length of a run, so a scheduled pass finishes with the lid closed.
The marketing playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of campaign admin, the Newsman subscribers sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
