Connect Botster to WhatsApp with an AI agent
Flann connects Botster to the WhatsApp chat you already run your business from. You ask, and Flann picks the right Botster action. Some of what you need to know sits outside your business: a competitor’s menu, a supplier’s catalogue, the public listings in your area. Through Botster, Flann can gather that web data on request and lay it out next to your own figures, so a decision about pricing or stock rests on more than a hunch.
11 actions in Botster. 6 only look things up, and 5 create, update, send or delete. You connect with your API key.

The Botster jobs you can stop doing yourself
You stay in charge of what goes out. Flann does the reading, the drafting and the chasing.
Seeing where visitors came from
Today
You put an offer out last week and want to know whether it brought people to the website. The answer is in Botster, several menus deep.
With Flann
“Where did website visitors come from this week, and how did the offer page do?”
Traffic sources and page visits are read from Botster and explained plainly: which channels sent people, how the offer page compared with your usual pages, and whether visitors booked or bought. No talk of sessions or bounce rates unless you ask. Nothing is changed.
What you stop doing: Clicking through analytics menus to judge an offer is behind you.
Cleaning up duplicate records
Today
The same customer appears in Botster three times with slightly different spellings. Reports count them separately, and nobody gets round to merging them.
With Flann
“Find duplicate customers in Botster and show me what you’d merge.”
Records in Botster that share a phone number, an email or a close spelling are grouped as likely duplicates.
What you stop doing: Merging duplicate records one by one is no longer on you.
