How HumDay uses it
- You describe the outcome. Not this operation by name — what you want to happen. HumDay works out which operations it needs.
- The contract names it. Before anything is built, you see exactly which Xero Files operations the program may use, and this is one of them.
- You approve access. Because this one changes data, it cannot run until you have explicitly granted it.

Questions
- Can HumDay creates a new file association in Xero Files?
- Yes. This operation is published in Xero Files's own API description, so HumDay can use it without a hand-built connector — once you have approved it for your automation.
- Will this change my Xero Files data?
- Yes — this is a POST operation, so it changes something in Xero Files. HumDay holds anything that writes behind an approval you grant explicitly, and the contract you approve says what it may touch.
- Do I need to write code?
- No. You describe the outcome you want in plain words. HumDay agrees a contract with you, writes the program, and shows you a proof run before anything touches your Xero Files account.
