Connect Cronly to WhatsApp: projects by chat
Flann is an AI agent your business talks to on WhatsApp. Connect Cronly once, then ask Flann to look things up in it or get work done in it, by text or voice note. Small businesses often rely on one developer or an IT contractor who is busy elsewhere. Flann does not replace them. It gives you a way to check Cronly yourself, understand what they are telling you and pass them the right details when something needs attention.
10 actions in Cronly. 3 only look things up, and 7 create, update, send or delete. You connect with your API key.

Security warnings explained

Flann checks the sign-in details in Cronly: where it came from, which account, and whether that person has signed in from there before. It gives you its reading and the reasons behind it.
What you stop doing: Warnings you could not interpret stop costing you sleep.
