Subsplash's developer documentation is public, but it does not include API credentials. Your church contacts its Subsplash Client Success Manager about eligibility and pricing. Once Subsplash provides access, our team builds the custom connection, and an admin in your workspace approves it in Volty before any call is made. ### Can members ask about their giving without calling the office? Yes, if you agree to share donations. The Subsplash API covers donations, funds, pledges and recurring donations on a person's profile. Volty only reads the profile it has matched to the member through a confirmed phone or email, and a change to a recurring gift goes to your staff. ### Who sees a prayer or care request sent to Volty? The person you name for it, such as the pastor on call or the care team lead. Volty replies to the member, posts the request to that colleague, and they can step into the same WhatsApp or Messenger thread. Volty does not write care requests into Subsplash unless you ask for that. ### How much does it cost to connect Subsplash with Volty?
