Connect TinyPNG to WhatsApp with an AI agent
Flann turns TinyPNG into something you can message. Ask on WhatsApp, by text or voice note, and Flann does the work in TinyPNG for you. A website should say what is true today: this week’s hours, this season’s menu, the service you just added. With TinyPNG connected, a message to Flann prepares the change.
5 actions in TinyPNG. 2 only look things up, and 3 create, update, send or delete. You connect with your API key.
What you can ask Flann to do in TinyPNG
You do not need the exact wording. These are the kinds of messages Flann turns into TinyPNG actions.
“Get the compressed image from TinyPNG.”
“Look up the compression count in TinyPNG.”
Step by step: TinyPNG jobs you can hand to Flann
How a request turns into real TinyPNG actions, one step at a time.
Get answers about your compressed images
- You message Flann on WhatsApp: “What is the latest on our compressed images in TinyPNG?”
- Flann runs
Download Compressed Imagein TinyPNG and shows you what it found. - Nothing in TinyPNG is changed: these are look-ups, so they run straight away.
Check your compression counts from WhatsApp

Where Flann saves you time in TinyPNG
Small jobs, repeated often, are where the time goes. Here is how they change once TinyPNG is connected.
Making the weekly offer graphic
Today
Every Monday you open TinyPNG, find last week’s post, swap the photo, change the offer text and resize it twice. It is the same fiddly routine each week.
With Flann
“This week’s special is the lamb tagine. Make the usual Monday post in TinyPNG.”
Flann opens last week’s design in TinyPNG, swaps in the new dish, rewrites the line in your usual tone and keeps your fonts and colours as they are. The finished graphic comes to the chat as an image you can look at properly on your phone.
What you stop doing: Rebuilding the same post every Monday is no longer how your week starts.
Updating the website for holidays
Today
Bank holidays, staff holidays and the Christmas closure all need a change on your website. Logging into TinyPNG 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 TinyPNG.”
Opening hours are found in every place TinyPNG 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.
