## When it is useful

Create, update, search, delete Novu subscribers and topics. Not user-auth — subscriberId is not a Clerk or Auth.js user. Distinct from novu-trigger-notification and from knock-setup identify.

## The Catch

Not user-auth; subscriberId ≠ Clerk/Auth.js user. Distinct from knock-setup and from novu-trigger-notification. Cloud Free 10k workflow runs/mo still applies when you later trigger.
