StoryPath utilizes groundbreaking mobile intelligence technology. With it, any constituent can receive a sequence of short-form videos straight to their mobile device, activated with just a text message.

This proprietary system enables churches to share branded video content sequences, removing the often-cumbersome registration barriers that can hinder engagement.

There’s no need for app downloads, email submissions, or password setups. Furthermore, our intelligent system enhances user engagement by allowing videos to be viewed in a binge mode. And if someone misses watching a video?

Our system ensures they receive friendly text reminders to catch up on the content they’ve missed. For churches, this means improved reach, engagement, and connection with their congregation and community, all without the hurdles of traditional online content delivery methods.

StoryPath stands apart in a crowded field of video and texting platforms, offering an experience tailored not just to deliver content, but to genuinely engage. Our platform uniquely curates an "Arc of Engagement" or what we like to call a "Yellow Brick Road", which distributes videos, typically ranging from 90 seconds to 3 minutes, in a thoughtfully sequenced manner. This design ensures the content is digestible, allowing viewers to fit it seamlessly into their busy lives.

Where many platforms may simply dump content or flood users with notifications, StoryPath's sophisticated system crafts a real-time, device-specific link for each user. This enables a "smart binge" feature – if a user chooses to engage with a month-long devotional journey and watches five episodes in one sitting, our system ensures that the next engagement starts right at episode six.

Perhaps most importantly, StoryPath is attentive to its users. It recognizes unviewed content or untouched links, prompting the system to gently nudge users to resume their journey right where they left off. And while the foundation of our technology might be text-based, it's essential to recognize that StoryPath transcends the capabilities of traditional texting platforms. At its core, it's a mobile intelligence storytelling tool, designed to foster deeper connections through thoughtful engagement.

StoryPath's intelligent video sequencing is a testament to the power of integrated, cutting-edge technology. At its core, the system creates a frictionless nurture sequence for video content, using a harmonious blend of SMS and MMS capabilities, specialized landing pages for video content (complete with branded headers and footers), a proprietary CRM database that keenly monitors viewing behaviors, and a marketing automation and rules engine.

What truly sets StoryPath apart is the unity of these components. While many platforms might utilize separate tools, each potentially introducing its own set of challenges and barriers, StoryPath has ingeniously combined all four into a singular, interoperable system. This seamless integration eliminates the need for the traditional login procedures that often serve as barriers for many users.

The linchpin of this system? A user's cell number. It acts as the unique identifier, eliminating the complexities often associated with white-labeling and individualized data tracking. And the beauty is in its simplicity: the moment a user sends a text, their cell number is automatically logged by our integrated CRM database, paving the way for a personalized, engaging video sequence.

Absolutely! The StoryPath platform is designed with adaptability in mind. We can integrate with various popular CRM systems through both direct and API integrations.

The Mission 17 team is dedicated to ensuring that our platform aligns well with the needs of churches, and as part of that commitment, we're actively working to ensure compatibility with the most popular church CRM platforms.

We anticipate these integrations to be ready by Q2 of 2026, providing churches with a seamless experience between StoryPath and their existing management tools.
