Manage Timely projects and labels from WhatsApp
Flann connects Timely to the WhatsApp chat you already run your business from. You ask, and Flann picks the right Timely action. Teams drift when nobody is watching the list. Flann watches Timely for you, notices the jobs that have not moved and tells you plainly, without making you open a board, filter it and scroll its columns on a small phone screen.
41 actions in Timely. 26 only look things up, and 15 create, update, send or delete. You connect with a one-click sign-in.

The Timely jobs you can stop doing yourself
You stay in charge of what goes out. Flann does the reading, the drafting and the chasing.
Turning a voice note into tasks
Today
Ideas and jobs come to you while driving or walking the floor. By the time you are at a screen to put them into Timely, some have gone.
With Flann
“Put everything from this voice note into Timely as tasks for this week.”
Flann transcribes the voice note, splits it into separate jobs, gives each a clear title and suggests a due date and an owner from your team in Timely. You see the list as one card.
What you stop doing: Remembering jobs until you get to a screen is no longer required.
Starting a new client project from the template
Today
Each new client or job means copying your template project in Timely, renaming it, adjusting dates and assigning people. Small mistakes slip in, like the last client’s name in a task.
With Flann
“New job for Clarke Dental, starts on the first. Set it up from our fit-out template in Timely.”
A copy of your template in Timely is renamed, dated from the start you gave and assigned to the usual people for each stage. Anything that still mentions the previous client is flagged.
What you stop doing: Copying and adjusting the template by hand for each new job is no longer on your desk.
