Engage on WhatsApp: manage users and customers with an AI agent

Where Flann saves you time in Engage
Small jobs, repeated often, are where the time goes. Here is how they change once Engage is connected.
A week of social posts planned
Today
Posting happens when you remember, usually late at night and one platform at a time. Some weeks Engage sits empty.
With Flann
“Plan next week’s posts in Engage: two on the new range, one behind the scenes, one customer favourite.”
Turning your outline into captions sized for each network, Flann suggests times when your audience tends to be active and drafts the full week in Engage. Nothing is published or scheduled by default.
What you stop doing: Your feed stops going quiet in the busy weeks.
Spotting the ads that waste money
Today
Ad spend leaks when a campaign keeps running after it has stopped working. Checking every ad set in Engage is tedious, so it waits.
With Flann
“Which ads in Engage spent the most this week for the fewest sales?”
It compares spend against conversions for each live campaign in Engage and names the weakest in plain words. Where it makes sense, Flann suggests pausing one or moving budget to a stronger one.
What you stop doing: Underperforming ads stop running unnoticed for weeks.
