Automate Archive Search

How automating Archive Search works
- Describe the outcome. Say what you want to happen, in your own words. No node graphs, no field mapping.
- Approve the contract. HumDay writes down exactly what it will do, what it will touch, and what it will never do. You approve it before anything is built.
- See it proven. The program runs and shows you the result before it is allowed near your live Archive Search account.
- Grant access, then go live. You approve the specific Archive Search operations it may use — and only those.

Questions about Archive Search automation
- Can HumDay connect to Archive Search?
- Yes. HumDay reads Archive Search's own published API description and derives the operations from it, so there is no hand-built connector to wait for. 3 operations are documented.
- Do I need to write code to automate Archive Search?
- No. You describe the outcome you want in plain words. HumDay agrees a contract with you, writes the program, and shows you a test run before anything touches your Archive Search account.
- What can HumDay do in Archive Search?
- 0 of the 3 documented operations change something in Archive Search, and 3 read from it. HumDay only ever uses the specific operations your approved contract needs.
- Is my Archive Search account safe?
- Your credentials are stored encrypted and are never shown in chat, code, or logs. Every run is limited to the operations you explicitly approved, and anything that writes to Archive Search is held behind that approval.
