Connect Are.na to Skyller and the AI starts reading from and acting in it through the functions your company enables — with each person's own login, approval before sensitive actions and a record of every call. Below, the actions and events the vendor publishes, what it takes to start and where this fits into the work.

10 ACTIONS

published by the vendor; the company enables only the necessary ones

0 EVENTS

triggers the system can send, when the vendor offers them

API KEY

each person signs in with their own credential, encrypted

APPROVAL BY RISK

sensitive actions show a card before running

Live proof

One request, one query in Are.na and one approval.

The scene shows the path of a request; the exact actions depend on the functions your company enables in Are.na.

  1. Input

    A team member asks, in the conversation, for something that today requires opening Are.na — inside their area's space, with their login.

  2. What Skyller does

    1. 01Picks, among the enabled functions, a query action and looks the information up in Are.na with the person's own credential.
    2. 02If the request requires writing something in Are.na, shows the card with what it is about to do and waits for Approve.
    3. 03Returns the result in the conversation and records who asked, which action was used and when.
  3. Result

    Are.na stops being an open tab and starts answering inside the conversation — through the functions your company enabled.

What this scene does not promise

  • The available actions are the ones the vendor publishes for Are.na; in your company only the functions turned on by the administrator are available.
  • If a write action is not classified as sensitive, it may run without a card; the classification is adjustable by the company.
  • Being in this catalog does not mean being installed, with a valid login, working in your company.

Where this helps your work

Are.na inside the conversation where the work happens.

Three common situations for people who use Are.na every day. What Skyller does in each one depends on the functions your company turns on.

Looking for the information

“What does the process page say about returns?”

The person asks and Skyller searches Are.na with their login, in the pages they can access, and answers with the passage it found.

Page read in the conversation

Documenting

“Create the page with this meeting's minutes.”

Creating a page is a write action: Skyller shows the card with the title and the content and creates it in Are.na after Approve.

Page created with approval

Administering

“Reading and creating, yes. Deleting, no.”

The administrator turns on only what the routine requires in Are.na; deletion stays off. The record shows who created what through the conversation.

Actions and events

What the vendor offers in Are.na.

Names as the vendor publishes them, in English, with the description summarized to its first sentence. In your company, the administrator turns on only the necessary actions; none of them runs without permission, and sensitive ones go through approval.

    ARENA_ADD_TO_CHANNELS

    Add an existing Are.na block or channel to one or more target channels without duplicating the underlying resource.

  • Update Channel

    ARENA_UPDATE_CHANNEL

    Update selected fields of an Are.na channel the authenticated user can edit. Fields omitted from the request remain unchanged.

Functions
10 published actions: the administrator turns on only the necessary ones. Sensitive ones ask for confirmation before running.
