You stay in charge of what goes out. Flann does the reading, the drafting and the chasing.
Is the website up right now
Today
A customer says the site will not load. You open MXToolbox, cannot find the right screen and end up texting your developer to ask.
With Flann
“Is the website down? A customer says checkout isn’t loading.”
Flann checks the status in MXToolbox and tells you whether the site and checkout are responding, and if not, since when. A problem is described plainly, with a suggestion of who to tell. Looking it up changes nothing, so the answer is immediate.
What you stop doing: Finding out whether there is a problem no longer needs your developer.
Security warnings explained
Today
Late at night, a suspicious sign-in report lands in your inbox. Without context you cannot tell a real threat from a member of staff on holiday.
With Flann
“Got a suspicious sign-in warning. Is it real?”
Flann checks the sign-in details in MXToolbox: where it came from, which account, and whether that person has signed in from there before. It gives you its reading and the reasons behind it.
What you stop doing: Warnings you could not interpret stop costing you sleep.
