Manage Edworking tasks and messages from WhatsApp
Flann connects Edworking to the WhatsApp chat you already run your business from. You ask, and Flann picks the right Edworking action. Work gets agreed in passing: at the counter, on a call, in the van. Edworking only helps if it gets written down. With Flann connected, a voice note becomes tasks in Edworking, and a quick question tells you what is late, who has it and what comes next.
12 actions in Edworking. 6 only look things up, and 6 create, update, send or delete. You connect with your API key.

The Edworking jobs you can stop doing yourself
You stay in charge of what goes out. Flann does the reading, the drafting and the chasing.
Nudging the team about late jobs
Today
Some tasks in Edworking have sat past their due date for days. Messaging each person to ask how it is going feels like nagging, so you put it off.
With Flann
“Chase whoever has overdue jobs in Edworking, nicely.”
Overdue tasks in Edworking are grouped by person, and a friendly nudge is drafted for each one, naming the job and asking for a new date if they need it.
What you stop doing: Writing the awkward chaser to each person is no longer yours to do.
Starting a new client project from the template
Today
Each new client or job means copying your template project in Edworking, renaming it, adjusting dates and assigning people. Small mistakes slip in, like the last client’s name in a task.
With Flann
“New job for Clarke Dental, starts on the first. Set it up from our fit-out template in Edworking.”
A copy of your template in Edworking is renamed, dated from the start you gave and assigned to the usual people for each stage. Anything that still mentions the previous client is flagged.
What you stop doing: Copying and adjusting the template by hand for each new job is no longer on your desk.
