Manage Captions videos and caption templates from WhatsApp
Flann connects Captions to the WhatsApp chat you already run your business from. You ask, and Flann picks the right Captions action. Most owners keep the brand in their head and the files in Captions. New pieces start from what you have already made, so the shop window, the menu board and your social feed all look like the same business.
8 actions in Captions. 5 only look things up, and 3 create, update, send or delete. You connect with your API key.

The Captions jobs you can stop doing yourself
You stay in charge of what goes out. Flann does the reading, the drafting and the chasing.
Making the weekly offer graphic
Today
Every Monday you open Captions, find last week’s post, swap the photo, change the offer text and resize it twice. It is the same fiddly routine each week.
With Flann
“This week’s special is the lamb tagine. Make the usual Monday post in Captions.”
Flann opens last week’s design in Captions, swaps in the new dish, rewrites the line in your usual tone and keeps your fonts and colours as they are. The finished graphic comes to the chat as an image you can look at properly on your phone.
What you stop doing: Rebuilding the same post every Monday is no longer how your week starts.
Turning an event into a flyer
Today
Tasting nights, open days and workshops each need a flyer. Laying out the details in Captions competes with actually running the event.
With Flann
“Flyer in Captions for the wine tasting on Friday the fourteenth, tickets at the bar.”
From a few words, Flann builds the flyer in Captions using one of your past designs as the starting point, so it looks like yours rather than a template anyone could have picked. It sends back a preview and a printable version.
What you stop doing: Laying out every event flyer yourself is no longer on the list.
