Manage GoTable reservations and guests from WhatsApp

Flann connects GoTable to the WhatsApp chat you already run your business from. You ask, and Flann picks the right GoTable action. Connecting GoTable puts your diary inside WhatsApp. Ask what is booked, where the gaps are or who is coming in next, and Flann reads GoTable and answers in the chat while you carry on with the person in front of you.

19 actions in GoTable. 15 only look things up, and 4 create, update, send or delete. You connect with your API key.

The GoTable jobs you can stop doing yourself

You stay in charge of what goes out. Flann does the reading, the drafting and the chasing.

Reminders that go out every night

Today

Every evening you scroll tomorrow's list in GoTable and message each person by hand. Miss one and the slot sits empty.

With Flann

“Remind everyone booked tomorrow. Friendly, and ask them to reply if they can't come.”

Reading tomorrow's bookings in GoTable, Flann writes a short reminder for each person in their own language and brings the drafts to you together.

What you stop doing: Nobody sits with the diary at night typing the same reminder over and over.

Recalling what a call agreed

Today

Details blur after a run of calls. Finding what was promised means replaying a recording or hunting for scribbled notes.

With Flann

“What did we agree with the supplier on yesterday's call?”

Searching GoTable for yesterday's meeting, Flann reads whatever notes or transcript it holds and sends you the decisions and next steps in a few lines. That part is instant.

What you stop doing: Replaying recordings to find one agreed point is behind you.

How Flann connects to GoTable

  1. In Flann, go to Connectors and find GoTable.
  2. Paste your GoTable API key into the secure form Flann opens. You will find the key in your GoTable account settings.
  3. From then on, message Flann on WhatsApp. It works in GoTable whenever a request needs it.
