August release notes show the Claude connector expanded past read-only conversation access across live chat, email, WhatsApp, SMS, and Messenger to include leads access, landing page creation, and campaign management, with MCP server updates moving toward API parity (Releasebot). Native Bombora Company Surge intent signals landed August 11 at no extra cost, and a Contracts API public beta on August 7 enables programmatic mid-term changes. The bet is that being the governed system of record an external agent operates against beats defending the screens. Which also re-founds the moat on data and workflow, explicitly not on the interface.
