These are the jobs that come back every day or every week. Message Flann instead, and keep the decisions for yourself.
Moving a session at short notice
Today
When an instructor is ill, you change the session in Perigon and then tell everyone booked, one message at a time.
With Flann
“Move Thursday’s yoga to 7pm and let the people booked know.”
Flann prepares the time change in Perigon and drafts a short note for each person booked, giving the new time. You see the change and the messages together.
What you stop doing: A session change no longer means rebuilding it by hand across two apps.
Publishing a lesson from a voice note
Today
You have the content in your head or a voice note, but turning it into a lesson or post in Perigon needs a proper session at the desk.
With Flann
“Turn this voice note into a short lesson for the beginners module.”
Flann transcribes your note, shapes it into a lesson with a clear title and sections, and prepares it in Perigon. You read it in the chat and change anything that does not sound like you.
What you stop doing: What you already know no longer waits for a free afternoon to be published.
