Are.na StrawberrySomeone still has to update channel. It does not have to be you
One sentence in, and a companion has been through the Are.na channels, put them where you can read them, and marked the ones it was not sure about.
Open the channel. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the Are.na afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing landing on a channel until you approve it.
What it can do is exactly what Are.na exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 5 operations, 2 reads and 3 writes. In practice that means it can update a channel, delete a channel and create a channel, and work across the channels, authenticated users and perform a searches.
The Are.na API stops at Are.na. 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.
What does it already know about your authenticated users?
2 of the 5 operations are reads.
Your account, not a guess at it: a companion can perform a search and get an authenticated user, and the full list below is the whole list, with nothing inferred from Are.na's documentation.
The channels are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the authenticated users. A companion can hold all 5 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of Are.na admin becomes a queue you review.
- Perform a Search
- Get Authenticated User
Can it change a channel without asking?
All 3 write operations wait for you.
A companion can update a channel, delete a channel and create a channel, and each one is staged on an approval card first: you see the channel, the field and the new value before it lands in Are.na.
Nothing in Are.na is sent, changed or deleted on your behalf without that click, and a rejected card leaves the channel exactly as it was. The gate is the same one on every surface, described at security.
- Update Channel
- Delete Channel
- Create Channel
Can it perform a search every morning by itself?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the Are.na channels 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 Are.na channels sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
