Repetitive Dnsfilter work Flann takes off your plate

These are the jobs that come back every day or every week. Message Flann instead, and keep the decisions for yourself.

Is the website up right now

Today

A customer says the site will not load. You open Dnsfilter, cannot find the right screen and end up texting your developer to ask.

With Flann

“Is the website down? A customer says checkout isn’t loading.”

Flann checks the status in Dnsfilter and tells you whether the site and checkout are responding, and if not, since when. A problem is described plainly, with a suggestion of who to tell. Looking it up changes nothing, so the answer is immediate.

What you stop doing: Finding out whether there is a problem no longer needs your developer.

Alerts in plain English

Today

Alert emails from Dnsfilter arrive full of codes and thresholds. You cannot tell an urgent one from a routine one, so you either ignore them all or worry about every one.

With Flann

“What does this alert from Dnsfilter mean? Should I worry?”

Flann reads the alert and the context around it in Dnsfilter, then explains what happened in a couple of plain sentences. It says whether it looks serious and who usually handles that kind of thing.

What you stop doing: Guessing which alerts matter is no longer your job.
