Connect Shortpixel to WhatsApp with an AI agent
Flann turns Shortpixel into something you can message. Ask on WhatsApp, by text or voice note, and Flann does the work in Shortpixel for you. A website should say what is true today: this week’s hours, this season’s menu, the service you just added. With Shortpixel connected, a message to Flann prepares the change.
12 actions in Shortpixel. 5 only look things up, and 7 create, update, send or delete. You connect with your API key.

“Check the image status in Shortpixel.”

Step by step: Shortpixel jobs you can hand to Flann
How a request turns into real Shortpixel actions, one step at a time.
Get answers about your adaptive images
- You message Flann on WhatsApp: “What is the latest on our adaptive images in Shortpixel?”
- Flann runs

Check your CDN usage statistics from WhatsApp

Where Flann saves you time in Shortpixel
Small jobs, repeated often, are where the time goes. Here is how they change once Shortpixel is connected.
Finding the logo and old artwork
Today
The printer wants your logo as a sharp, full-size file and you only have a blurry copy on your phone. The proper file is somewhere in Shortpixel, under a project name you cannot remember.
With Flann
“Send me the high-res logo from Shortpixel, the one with the dark background.”
Searching your projects in Shortpixel straight away, Flann finds the logo variants and sends the right one into the chat. If there are several, you get thumbnails to pick from.
What you stop doing: Scrolling through old projects for the right logo file stops.
Updating the website for holidays
Today
Bank holidays, staff holidays and the Christmas closure all need a change on your website. Logging into Shortpixel for one line of text is easy to put off, and customers turn up to a locked door.
With Flann
“We’re closed Boxing Day and open late on the twenty-third. Update the hours on Shortpixel.”
Opening hours are found in every place Shortpixel shows them, including the footer and the contact page, and the change is prepared for each. You get a before-and-after card.
What you stop doing: Logging in to fix a single line of opening hours no longer falls to you.
