Sunday, Sarah snaps Maria’s card.
She texts the photo to SaltLight. It reads the card, checks with her, and adds Maria to First-time guests, the follow-up Sarah leads.

SaltLightGuest follow-up for churches
SaltLight is a follow-up assistant that lives in your texts. Every connect card, paper or digital, gets a leader and a first text you approve.
$0 today. Founder pricing after 30 days. Cancel anytime.
Works automatically with Planning Center and Rock, so you keep the church software you already use.Breeze, CCB, Tithe.ly and others are coming soon.

You keep the shepherding. SaltLight carries the remembering.
We’ve been there. The cards come in Sunday, and then the questions start. Did every connect card get a text? Who’s still waiting? SaltLight keeps each guest in front of the right leader, and it answers those questions by text.

SaltLight gets the first text in front of you while the visit is still fresh.
How it works
SaltLight lives in the messaging app already on your team’s phones. Each guest gets their own text thread, and you have a private thread with SaltLight for everything else.
Your private texts with SaltLight. Guests never see them.
One example: Maria’s paper card at Grace Chapel. A digital card skips the photo and comes in on its own.
She texts the photo to SaltLight. It reads the card, checks with her, and adds Maria to First-time guests, the follow-up Sarah leads.

SaltLightMaria’s thread on Sarah’s phone opens with who she is, then a first text in Sarah’s voice. Only Sarah sees them.

Or she asks for a change, and SaltLight rewrites it. Nothing goes out until she says so.

It comes from a number just for her conversation. She never sees Sarah’s personal number or SaltLight’s notes.

To answer in her own words, Sarah starts with @. If she forgets the @, SaltLight checks with her before anything reaches Maria.

SaltLight keeps every guest moving on the schedule you set, so no one has to keep a list. Here’s the rest of Sarah’s week.

SaltLightAnd if a leader forgets, SaltLight reminds them. If a new guest like Ben never gets a first text, the backup partner you picked hears about it.
Your assistant
Six steps at a desk. Or one text from the parking lot.
Today: 6 steps at a desk
With SaltLight: 1 text
Just text it, and it’s done, right down to updating Planning Center or Rock.
All of this is in beta, and we want to hear how it goes for your church.
“No manual connect-card entry. Every message sent by Sunday at 4pm. It changed how we handle follow-up.”

“I think every campus pastor would look at this and say, ‘Yeah, this is a no-brainer.’”

No. Whatever church database you use stays your database. SaltLight works alongside it rather than replacing it. Guests who fill out your current digital connect card come in on their own, and guests you add by text are saved back to your database. Planning Center and Rock work today, and Breeze, CCB, Tithe.ly and others are coming soon. No church software at all? SaltLight works on its own: text SaltLight a card photo or a guest’s name and number, and follow-up starts.
Yes, with Planning Center or Rock. Text SaltLight what changed, like a new address, a new member or a misspelled name, and it updates that person’s record. It can also add a note, move someone to their next step, or mark someone inactive. It works best for everyday changes, one person at a time. It’s in beta for both, so tell us how it goes. In Planning Center you approve the connection, and in Rock your admin sets it up. It never logs in as you and never needs your password. Any leader on your SaltLight team can make these changes, so add leaders you trust with your records.
No. Every guest is texting with a real person from your church, and their replies go to that leader. SaltLight writes a first draft in your voice, and it never texts a guest on its own. Every guest text goes out because a leader approved it, wrote it, or asked SaltLight to send it. SaltLight handles the remembering, and your people do the caring.
Yes. Start any text with @ and it’s 100% yours. Write every text that way, and the only words of SaltLight’s a guest gets are a short note when you hand them to another leader.
It’s stored on AWS, encrypted in transit and at rest, and we never sell it or train AI on it. An AI provider helps SaltLight read cards, draft and summarize messages, and answer questions. Guests never see a leader’s personal number.
They won’t have to. There’s no app to download and no login for day-to-day follow-up: leaders get a text and reply by text. A short practice run with a pretend guest shows them how. Start with one leader, add more when your team is ready, and we’ll walk your team through setup.
Every guest has a leader, and SaltLight keeps after that leader. If a leader goes quiet, SaltLight sends them a reminder. If a new guest never gets a first text, the backup partner you picked during setup gets a heads-up, so always pick one. If the guest goes quiet, SaltLight tells the leader so they can check in. Every conversation is saved, and you can read it anytime in your SaltLight dashboard.
Each guest gets their own text conversation on its own number, so conversations stay separate. It helps to save that number under the guest’s name. If the same person comes back later through a new card, they’ll show up on a new number. Lost track? Ask SaltLight in that conversation what the guest said last, or hand the guest to another leader with one text.
No. Most church texting tools are built to broadcast: announcements, reminders and automated sequences. When they’re used for follow-up, someone still has to look up the guest, log in, write the text and keep track of who answered. SaltLight flips that around. The guest comes to your leader, right in the messaging app they already use, with a first message already drafted in their voice. One reply sends it, and SaltLight keeps your leader on it while the conversation is open.
Each plan is a flat monthly price set by message volume, and every plan includes unlimited leaders. A message is every text SaltLight sends or receives for you, to guests and to your leaders. Pick a plan by your weekend attendance, and move up anytime for a big Sunday. Not sure? Ask Richard and he’ll suggest one.
No. Plans are month to month, and you can cancel anytime. Our first 50 churches get founder pricing, locked while you stay, plus a direct line to the team building SaltLight. If you leave, the guests SaltLight added to your church database stay there.
Yes. You pay for texting volume, so a small church starts small, and church plants have their own Plant plan. Multiple campuses or a large church? We offer custom plans and a guided rollout.
Together, our founding team has more than 70 years of real-world ministry experience. We’ve sat in your chair, lost the connect card, and felt the Monday whirlwind. So we built the teammate we always wished we had.
