Manage Confluence pages and tasks from WhatsApp

Flann connects Confluence to the WhatsApp chat you already run your business from. You ask, and Flann picks the right Confluence action. Work gets agreed in passing: at the counter, on a call, in the van. Confluence only helps if it gets written down. With Flann connected, a voice note becomes tasks in Confluence, and a quick question tells you what is late, who has it and what comes next.

70 actions in Confluence. 44 only look things up, and 26 create, update, send or delete. You connect with a one-click sign-in.

What you can ask Flann to do in Confluence

Type it or say it in a voice note. Flann works out which Confluence action you mean.

The Confluence jobs you can stop doing yourself

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

Turning a voice note into tasks

Today

Ideas and jobs come to you while driving or walking the floor. By the time you are at a screen to put them into Confluence, some have gone.

With Flann

“Put everything from this voice note into Confluence as tasks for this week.”

Flann transcribes the voice note, splits it into separate jobs, gives each a clear title and suggests a due date and an owner from your team in Confluence. You see the list as one card.

What you stop doing: Remembering jobs until you get to a screen is no longer required.

Making weekly checklists repeat

Today

Opening checks, cleaning rotas and Friday stock counts get recreated by hand in Confluence each week. When you are busy, the list simply does not appear, and neither does the cleaning.

With Flann

“Make the closing checklist a repeating task in Confluence, weekdays, assigned to Jordan.”

Each step of the checklist becomes a sub-task in Confluence, set to repeat on weekdays.

What you stop doing: Recreating the same checklist every week is not something you do any more.

How Flann connects to Confluence

  1. Search for Confluence in Flann’s Connectors.
  2. Sign in to your Confluence account on the secure page that opens and allow access. There is no developer account or API key to set up.
  3. Ask Flann for what you need on WhatsApp, by text or voice note. It picks the right Confluence action itself.

Reading from Confluence is instant. Confluence stays connected until you remove it in Connectors.
