Connect ActiveCampaign to WhatsApp: contacts, orders and deals by chat
Flann is an AI agent your business talks to on WhatsApp. Connect ActiveCampaign once, then ask Flann to look things up in it or get work done in it, by text or voice note. Forget the dashboards for a moment. Tell Flann what you want to say and to whom, and it prepares the work inside ActiveCampaign: the copy, the list, the schedule, the links.
298 actions in ActiveCampaign. 148 only look things up, and 150 create, update, send or delete. You connect with your API key.
What you can ask Flann to do in ActiveCampaign
Send any of these on WhatsApp, in your own words. Flann finds the right ActiveCampaign action and fills in the details from the conversation.
“Find a contact in ActiveCampaign.”
“Look up the deal in ActiveCampaign.”
“Look up the account in ActiveCampaign.”
“Add a contact in ActiveCampaign.”
“Delete the deal in ActiveCampaign.”
“Create an account in ActiveCampaign.”

Repetitive ActiveCampaign work Flann takes off your plate
These are the jobs that come back every day or every week. Message Flann instead, and keep the decisions for yourself.
The monthly newsletter, drafted
Today
Each month you stare at a blank template in ActiveCampaign, trying to remember what happened that customers would care about. The newsletter goes out late, or not at all.
With Flann
“Draft this month’s newsletter in ActiveCampaign: new autumn menu, the quiz night and our Sunday opening.”
Flann writes the newsletter in your voice, uses a layout you have sent before from ActiveCampaign and offers a choice of subject lines. It saves nothing yet.
What you stop doing: No more blank template at the end of the month.
Pruning bounces and sleepers
Today
Bounced addresses and subscribers who have not opened anything in months sit in ActiveCampaign, dragging down your sender reputation. Cleaning them means exporting, filtering and importing again.
With Flann
“Find hard bounces and anyone in ActiveCampaign who has not opened since spring.”
Searching ActiveCampaign, Flann separates hard bounces from subscribers who have simply gone quiet. For the quiet ones it can draft a last-chance email that asks whether they still want to hear from you.
What you stop doing: List hygiene no longer means a spreadsheet export.
