Salesmsg's Sherpa AI now sends replies and builds broadcasts on request, with approval first.
Salesmsg's autumn releases have added survey automation, Click Tracking, upgraded Reviews and an official MCP server listed with Claude and ChatGPT. Sherpa AI, the in-app assistant, now acts inside the product: it guides onboarding, replies to conversations and sends messages after user approval, fills in broadcast forms from a description, navigates to any screen and explains 10DLC compliance status.
Subsplash turns its Dashboard Home into one view across every church product
Subsplash runs giving, media, people and workflow tools for churches. Late September brought notes on People profiles and Workflow cards and gift totals in Giving; October added multi-select actions on People. On November 4 the Dashboard Home page expanded from app and media analytics to live cards for People, Giving, Events, Groups, Workflows and Forms, each with trend lines and quick actions.

Salesmsg is moving from a texting tool with AI features to one operated through an assistant, inside the app via Sherpa and outside it via MCP. Each release ties messaging, automation and CRM data closer to that agent layer.
Expect Sherpa to gain more actions that already exist in the MCP server, such as contact management and campaign reporting, and possibly scheduled or autonomous runs.

The product is pulling its separate modules into one staff workspace: notes and multi-select made each module more usable, and Home now ties them together. The first-step prompts on Home also show an effort to get churches using products they have not tried.
Expect more cross-product actions from Home and further staff-workflow features in People and Workflows.
