Integrations / Payment Processing
Check Flutterwave payments and make payment links from WhatsApp
Yes. Connect Flutterwave to Flann and you can ask about a transaction, a balance or a subscription from WhatsApp. You can also create a payment link, set up a payment plan or issue a refund without logging in to the dashboard.
53 actions in Flutterwave. 37 only look things up, and 16 create, update, send or delete. You connect with your API key.
What you can ask Flann to do in Flutterwave
Send any of these on WhatsApp, in your own words. Flann finds the right Flutterwave action and fills in the details from the conversation.
“Did the payment from Adaeze come through?”
“What are my balances in each currency?”
“Make a payment link for the catering deposit”
“Refund the last payment from Tunde”
Is that payment through? Ask, don't log in.
Flann reads transactions, wallet balances per currency, subscriptions and banks from Flutterwave, so a customer's question gets an answer in one message.
Customers ask about payments at all hours, and the honest answer is in Flutterwave. Rather than stop and sign in, send Flann the customer's name or the reference. It reads the transaction. The answer lands in the chat. Balances work the same way, one for each currency you hold.
Payment links, plans and refunds
Flann can create and disable payment links, create or cancel payment plans, add beneficiaries and subaccounts, and issue a refund.
A new customer is on the phone and wants to pay now. Ask Flann for a payment link. Send it on while they are still talking, and the sale does not cool. When a regular payer changes arrangements, update or cancel the payment plan from the same chat. Refunds, virtual accounts and beneficiaries are covered too. The routine money admin stays in WhatsApp.

Repetitive Flutterwave 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.
Friday round of overdue reminders
Today
Every Friday you open Flutterwave, filter the overdue invoices and write a chaser to each customer by hand. The tone drifts with your mood.
With Flann
“Who is overdue in Flutterwave? Draft reminders, firmer for anyone more than a month late.”
Flann pulls the overdue list from Flutterwave, sorts it by age and drafts a reminder for each customer, gentle for recent ones and firmer for the long-standing ones. One card per customer.
What you stop doing: You stop writing the same awkward chaser every week.
Invoice the job on the way out
Today
You finish a job, head to the next one and promise yourself the invoice will go out tonight. Often it does not.
With Flann
“Invoice Hassan for the kitchen fit, materials plus labour, usual terms.”
Within Flutterwave, Flann finds Hassan, builds the invoice from the lines you described and applies your standard payment terms. It stays a draft for now.
What you stop doing: Unbilled work stops living in your head.
