The Sendlane jobs you can stop doing yourself
You stay in charge of what goes out. Flann does the reading, the drafting and the chasing.
The monthly newsletter, drafted
Today
Each month you stare at a blank template in Sendlane, trying to remember what happened that customers would care about. The newsletter goes out late, or not at all.
With Flann
“Draft this month’s newsletter in Sendlane: new autumn menu, the quiz night and our Sunday opening.”
Flann writes the newsletter in your voice, uses a layout you have sent before from Sendlane and offers a choice of subject lines. It saves nothing yet.
What you stop doing: No more blank template at the end of the month.
Pruning bounces and sleepers
Today
Bounced addresses and subscribers who have not opened anything in months sit in Sendlane, dragging down your sender reputation. Cleaning them means exporting, filtering and importing again.
With Flann
“Find hard bounces and anyone in Sendlane who has not opened since spring.”
Searching Sendlane, Flann separates hard bounces from subscribers who have simply gone quiet. For the quiet ones it can draft a last-chance email that asks whether they still want to hear from you.
What you stop doing: List hygiene no longer means a spreadsheet export.
