Where Flann saves you time in Updown.io
Small jobs, repeated often, are where the time goes. Here is how they change once Updown.io is connected.
Is the website up right now
Today
A customer says the site will not load. You open Updown.io, cannot find the right screen and end up texting your developer to ask.
With Flann
“Is the website down? A customer says checkout isn’t loading.”
Flann checks the status in Updown.io and tells you whether the site and checkout are responding, and if not, since when. A problem is described plainly, with a suggestion of who to tell. Looking it up changes nothing, so the answer is immediate.
What you stop doing: Finding out whether there is a problem no longer needs your developer.
Alerts in plain English
Today
Alert emails from Updown.io arrive full of codes and thresholds. You cannot tell an urgent one from a routine one, so you either ignore them all or worry about every one.
With Flann
“What does this alert from Updown.io mean? Should I worry?”
Flann reads the alert and the context around it in Updown.io, then explains what happened in a couple of plain sentences. It says whether it looks serious and who usually handles that kind of thing.
What you stop doing: Guessing which alerts matter is no longer your job.
