What is Subsplash?
Subsplash is wiring automation and AI through the church admin stack it already owned
Workflows came out of beta in mid-July with per-step email automation, then immediately gained completion notifications for team leaders. Around it, the administrative surfaces are being rebuilt in sequence: Transfers and reconciliation now tracks who reconciled what and when, Groups gained member limits with a Full badge and finder filters, and event managers can register guests and waive payments directly from the dashboard. The AI line is filling in too — Trends AI added media and campaign data on top of giving, people, attendance and groups, following the natural-language People Assistant in May.
What is Heymarket?
Real features ship between the SEO posts: tags, webhooks, escalations, and now RCS via Twilio.
Heymarket's feed is a marketing blog with product announcements mixed in at roughly one post in three. The genuine releases in this window are Escalations, which pushes an unanswered conversation to a named person, and enablement for RCS campaigns through Twilio. The rest — a conversational-AI definition, a healthcare AI buying guide, email-writing advice — is search content with no product change behind it.

◆ Current state
Workflows came out of beta in mid-July with per-step email automation, then immediately gained completion notifications for team leaders. Around it, the administrative surfaces are being rebuilt in sequence: Transfers and reconciliation now tracks who reconciled what and when, Groups gained member limits with a Full badge and finder filters, and event managers can register guests and waive payments directly from the dashboard. The AI line is filling in too — Trends AI added media and campaign data on top of giving, people, attendance and groups, following the natural-language People Assistant in May.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads run in parallel and are starting to meet. One is turning manual church-admin chores into configured automation — workflows that send their own emails, notify on completion, and enforce group capacity without a staff member watching. The other is putting a natural-language layer over an increasingly complete data set, which only becomes useful once giving, attendance, media and campaigns all live in the same place. Recent releases have been closing the gaps in that data set.
◆ Prediction
The obvious convergence is Workflows becoming triggerable from the data — a Trends AI segment or People Assistant query that drops matching people onto a workflow board automatically. Reconciliation gaining an export or accounting-package integration is the other near-term candidate given how much structure was just added to Transfers.

Real features ship between the SEO posts: tags, webhooks, escalations, and now RCS via Twilio.
◆ Current state
Heymarket's feed is a marketing blog with product announcements mixed in at roughly one post in three. The genuine releases in this window are Escalations, which pushes an unanswered conversation to a named person, and enablement for RCS campaigns through Twilio. The rest — a conversational-AI definition, a healthcare AI buying guide, email-writing advice — is search content with no product change behind it.
◆ Where it's heading
The product work visible here is all about absorbing volume: tags to structure conversations, inbound webhooks to pull in the rest of the stack, escalations to catch what nobody answered, and AI agents the team says it trained against its own inbox first. Heymarket is building the operations layer around business messaging rather than extending the messaging surface itself. Channel breadth is arriving through partners, with RCS riding Twilio rather than native carrier work.
◆ Prediction
The next release is most likely another triage or routing control, since escalations and conversation tags both point that way. Entry bodies in this feed are truncated excerpts, so how far the AI agent work has actually gone is not visible here.
