Where Flann saves you time in InfluxDB Cloud
Small jobs, repeated often, are where the time goes. Here is how they change once InfluxDB Cloud is connected.
Spotting a sudden change early
Today
Drops in bookings or jumps in returns can go unnoticed for days in InfluxDB Cloud. You find out when the month closes, too late to do much.
With Flann
“Has anything in InfluxDB Cloud moved unusually this week?”
Scanning InfluxDB Cloud for figures that broke from their usual pattern, Flann lists the ones that moved most and suggests a likely cause where the data points to one. You can ask it to check every morning. Reading is instant, and no changes are made.
What you stop doing: Finding problems weeks late in the monthly figures no longer happens.
Seeing where visitors came from
Today
You put an offer out last week and want to know whether it brought people to the website. The answer is in InfluxDB Cloud, several menus deep.
With Flann
“Where did website visitors come from this week, and how did the offer page do?”
Traffic sources and page visits are read from InfluxDB Cloud and explained plainly: which channels sent people, how the offer page compared with your usual pages, and whether visitors booked or bought. No talk of sessions or bounce rates unless you ask. Nothing is changed.
What you stop doing: Clicking through analytics menus to judge an offer is behind you.
