Manage Pexels videos and photos from WhatsApp
Flann connects Pexels to the WhatsApp chat you already run your business from. You ask, and Flann picks the right Pexels action. A website should say what is true today: this week’s hours, this season’s menu, the service you just added. With Pexels connected, a message to Flann prepares the change.
9 actions in Pexels. All of them only look things up, so nothing in Pexels is ever changed. You connect with your API key.
What you can ask Flann to do in Pexels
Type it or say it in a voice note. Flann works out which Pexels action you mean.
“Find photos in Pexels.”
“Find videos in Pexels.”
“Show me my curated photos in Pexels.”

The Pexels jobs you can stop doing yourself
You stay in charge of what goes out. Flann does the reading, the drafting and the chasing.
Making the weekly offer graphic
Today
Every Monday you open Pexels, find last week’s post, swap the photo, change the offer text and resize it twice. It is the same fiddly routine each week.
With Flann
“This week’s special is the lamb tagine. Make the usual Monday post in Pexels.”
Flann opens last week’s design in Pexels, swaps in the new dish, rewrites the line in your usual tone and keeps your fonts and colours as they are. The finished graphic comes to the chat as an image you can look at properly on your phone.
What you stop doing: Rebuilding the same post every Monday is no longer how your week starts.
Writing product and service descriptions
Today
Each new product or treatment needs a description for the website. Starting from a blank box in Pexels is the part that always gets put off.
With Flann
“Write descriptions in Pexels for the three new teas, short and warm like the others.”
Drafts are written in Pexels using the details you gave and the tone of the descriptions you already have, so the new ones sit comfortably next to the old. Reply with changes in plain words and Flann redrafts.
What you stop doing: Facing a blank text box for every new product is over.
