Someone still has to send email. It does not have to be you
SparkPost exposes 1 operation and a companion can work it: send an email. Anything that changes a record waits for your click.
Open the email. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the SparkPost afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing landing on a email until you approve it.
What it can do is exactly what SparkPost exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 1 operation, no reads and 1 write. In practice that means it can send an email.
The SparkPost API stops at SparkPost. 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 emails or ask you for them?
In the tab.
SparkPost exposes no read operation to a connected account, so a companion opens SparkPost in the session you are already signed into and reads the screens you would.
The emails are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the emails. A companion can hold that operation and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of SparkPost admin becomes a queue you review.
What happens before it can send email?
The one write operation there is waits for you.
A companion can send an email, and each one is staged on an approval card first: you see the email, the field and the new value before it lands in SparkPost.
Nothing in SparkPost is sent, changed or deleted on your behalf without that click, and a rejected card leaves the email exactly as it was. The gate is the same one on every surface, described at security.

Does the email sweep have to be asked for every time?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the SparkPost emails 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 SparkPost emails sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
