SmugMug StrawberryHand the SmugMug albums to a companion
Your SmugMug, worked while you do something else: 4 reads to go through it, 3 writes to change it, and a card in front of every one of those changes.
Open the album. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the SmugMug afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing landing on a album until you approve it.
What it can do is exactly what SmugMug exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 7 operations, 4 reads and 3 writes. In practice that means it can upload an image, update an album image and create an album, and work across the albums, images and album images.
The SmugMug API stops at SmugMug. 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 albums or ask you for them?
4 of the 7 operations are reads.
Your account, not a guess at it: a companion can get an user profile, get an image and get an authenticated user, and the full list below is the whole list, with nothing inferred from SmugMug's documentation.
The albums are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the images. A companion can hold all 7 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of SmugMug admin becomes a queue you review.
- Get User Profile
- Get Image
- Get Authenticated User
- Get Album
What happens before it can upload image?
All 3 write operations wait for you.
A companion can upload an image, update an album image and create an album, and each one is staged on an approval card first: you see the album, the field and the new value before it lands in SmugMug.
Nothing in SmugMug is sent, changed or deleted on your behalf without that click, and a rejected card leaves the album exactly as it was. The gate is the same one on every surface, described at security.
- Upload Image
- Update Album Image
- Create Album
Does the album sweep have to be asked for every time?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the SmugMug albums 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 operations playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of the documents, the SmugMug albums sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
