Manage CircleCI projects and orb categories from WhatsApp

Flann connects CircleCI to the WhatsApp chat you already run your business from. You ask, and Flann picks the right CircleCI action. CircleCI speaks a technical language. Flann translates. Ask whether the site is up, why an alert fired or what changed this week, and you get a plain answer drawn straight from CircleCI.

65 actions in CircleCI. 45 only look things up, and 20 create, update, send or delete. You connect with your API key.

The CircleCI jobs you can stop doing yourself

You stay in charge of what goes out. Flann does the reading, the drafting and the chasing.

Who still has access

Today

Staff come and go, and old logins linger. Checking who can still get into which system is a job nobody wants.

With Flann

“Does Ana still have an account in CircleCI? She left last month.”

Flann looks up Ana in CircleCI and tells you exactly what access she still has. Want it removed?

What you stop doing: Closing the door behind people who left no longer depends on memory.

Fridge and sensor check-ins

Today

Fridges, sensors and connected equipment report into CircleCI, but nobody looks unless something has already spoiled.

With Flann

“Are the fridges and freezers all at the right temperature?”

Flann reads the latest readings from CircleCI and tells you whether anything sits outside its normal range. A unit that has been drifting is named, with how long it has been drifting.

What you stop doing: Walking round checking displays just to feel sure is no longer needed.
