The Airbyte workspaces nobody wants to work through
It reads every workspace your Airbyte account holds, drafts the changes that follow, and hands you a card for each one before a single workspace moves.
Open the workspace. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the Airbyte afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing landing on a workspace until you approve it.
What it can do is exactly what Airbyte exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 4 operations, 1 read and 3 writes. In practice that means it can update a workspace, delete a workspace and create a workspace.
The Airbyte API stops at Airbyte. 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 Airbyte workspaces does a companion see?
1 of the 4 operations is a read.
Your account, not a guess at it: a companion can list workspaces, and the full list below is the whole list, with nothing inferred from Airbyte's documentation.
The workspaces are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the workspaces. A companion can hold all 4 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of Airbyte admin becomes a queue you review.
- List Workspaces
Which workspaces wait for your approval?
All 3 write operations wait for you.
A companion can update a workspace, delete a workspace and create a workspace, and each one is staged on an approval card first: you see the workspace, the field and the new value before it lands in Airbyte.
Nothing in Airbyte is sent, changed or deleted on your behalf without that click, and a rejected card leaves the workspace exactly as it was. The gate is the same one on every surface, described at security.
- Update Workspace
- Delete Workspace
- Create Workspace
Can it update workspace on a schedule?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the Airbyte workspaces 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 product and engineering playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of the infrastructure checks, the Airbyte workspaces sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
