Where Flann saves you time in PhantomBuster
Small jobs, repeated often, are where the time goes. Here is how they change once PhantomBuster is connected.
Your weekly numbers on Monday morning
Today
Every Monday you log into PhantomBuster, set the date range, compare it with the week before and try to remember what normal looks like. By the time the picture is clear, the week has started without you.
With Flann
“How are we doing? Last week against the week before, from PhantomBuster.”
Flann pulls the main figures from PhantomBuster, sets them against the previous week and sends a report card in the chat with the few changes worth your attention. Ask a follow-up and it digs into the detail.
What you stop doing: Setting date ranges and comparing columns by eye every Monday is finished.
Looking up a record mid-conversation
Today
A customer on the phone asks when their membership renews or what they ordered last time. Finding the record in PhantomBuster means a laptop, a login and a search screen.
With Flann
“When does Priya Shah’s membership renew? Check PhantomBuster.”
Within the chat, Flann searches PhantomBuster for the record and replies with the renewal date, plan and last visit. If two records match, it asks which one you mean. Looking up changes nothing, so it happens straight away.
What you stop doing: Opening a laptop to answer a simple customer question is unnecessary now.
