Repetitive The Odds API work Flann takes off your plate
These are the jobs that come back every day or every week. Message Flann instead, and keep the decisions for yourself.
Course students who have stalled
Today
Students enrol, stall and drop out quietly. Spotting who needs a nudge means opening each record in The Odds API.
With Flann
“Which students haven’t logged in to the course for two weeks?”
Flann checks activity in The Odds API and lists the students who have gone quiet, with how far each got. It drafts a short, encouraging message for each one.
What you stop doing: Trawling progress reports to find who is slipping is no longer needed.
Class timetable questions
Today
Members ask whether a class is on, full or moved. Each answer means checking the timetable and replying by hand.
With Flann
“Is Tuesday’s spin class full? How many spaces are left?”
Flann reads the timetable and bookings in The Odds API and answers immediately. If a member is waiting to hear back, it drafts a reply for you.
What you stop doing: Member questions no longer send you into the timetable.
