Event-triggered briefs for crisis care

Every item includes options to respond directly in the message. One tap handles the task.

The Pain Point

The member who is quietly slipping away.

It starts when someone misses a Sunday. Then they fade from their small group. By the time the team notices, the member has been gone for weeks. Quiet absence is hard to catch when you're busy, but database patterns show it clearly.

The Care Queue brings these indicators to your attention. It checks for attendance drop-offs, inbound messages, and web forms. Instead of forcing you to log into a complicated database dashboard, Tend compiles these updates and sends them directly to your preferred messaging thread.

Each notification includes a drafted personal check-in written in your team's voice. Once approved, it is sent directly from your official church number or email. It looks and feels completely organic to the member, preserving the personal touch. The loop is closed.

How the briefs land in your chat app

The entire care feature runs in your text threads.

The weekly Care Brief delivered directly to your preferred chat thread (WhatsApp, SMS, or Telegram), allowing your team to act on connection updates in seconds.
The Interface

Keep using the chat apps you already run, with zero new dashboards to learn.

Care is a relational work, not database management. Tend operates in the background and delivers actionable digests to the chat thread already open on your phone. Review names, read draft messages, and tap to send or reschedule.

One-tap loop closure

Each brief includes interactive quick buttons. A single tap on "One-tap approve" sends the pre-drafted message directly from your church's official number. Tap "Edit" to customize the greeting, or "Skip" to remove the reminder with a brief reason.

The Cadences

The Care Brief schedules.

Congregational care is structured around the rhythm of the church week. We deliver briefs at the exact moments they are needed.

Sent Monday at 9am. Synthesizes Sunday's attendance and giving data into a prioritized care queue. Surfaces members quietly drifting or facing urgent needs, with draft messages ready.

Mid-week review
Event-Triggered Briefs
