Connect Postman to WhatsApp: responses, folders and spec files by chat
Flann is an AI agent your business talks to on WhatsApp. Connect Postman once, then ask Flann to look things up in it or get work done in it, by text or voice note. Devices, logins, servers and the small apps your team built all leave a trail in Postman. Flann can read that trail for you. Ask by text or voice note and the answer comes in sentences, not error codes.
126 actions in Postman. 53 only look things up, and 73 create, update, send or delete. You connect with your API key.

Overnight problems, summarised
Today
Errors build up overnight. Nobody reads the logs until something breaks in front of a customer.
With Flann
“Anything go wrong overnight on our systems?”
Flann reads the overnight errors and incidents in Postman, groups the repeats and ranks what is left by how much it affects customers. You get the few things worth knowing. Nothing is changed; this is a report.
What you stop doing: No more scrolling through logs you were never meant to read.
Passing a fault to the right person
Today
When something breaks, you forward a screenshot to your developer with a vague description. They then ask the questions you could not answer.
With Flann
“Send Dan the details of this error so he can look at it.”
Flann gathers what Dan will need from Postman: when the error started, how often it happens and which part of the system is affected. It drafts a clear message to him with those facts.
What you stop doing: Your role as messenger between customers and developer comes to an end.
