Someone still has to create or update subscriber. It does not have to be you
It reads every subscriber your Flodesk account holds, drafts the changes that follow, and hands you a card for each one before a single subscriber moves.
Open the subscriber. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the Flodesk 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 Flodesk exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 3 operations, 1 read and 2 writes. In practice that means it can create an or update subscriber and add subscriber to segments.
The Flodesk API stops at Flodesk. 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.
Which Flodesk subscribers does a companion see?
1 of the 3 operations is a read.
Your account, not a guess at it: a companion can find a subscriber by email, and the full list below is the whole list, with nothing inferred from Flodesk's documentation.
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 Flodesk admin becomes a queue you review.
- Find Subscriber By Email
What happens before it can create or update subscriber?
All 2 write operations wait for you.
A companion can create an or update subscriber and add subscriber to segments, and each one is staged on an approval card first: you see the subscriber, the field and the new value before it lands in Flodesk.
Nothing in Flodesk 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.

- Add Subscriber To Segments
Can it create or update subscriber on a schedule?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the Flodesk 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 operations playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of store admin, the Flodesk subscribers sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
