Paths
Run a 21-day self-paced challenge
Build a daily practice that starts on the day each person joins and runs for as many days as you choose.
When to use this
- You want an evergreen journey people can start any day: a 21-day journaling challenge, a 7-day reset, a 30-day gratitude practice.
- Everyone should get Day 1 on their first day, Day 2 on their second, and so on.
- Text message is the right channel (Self-Paced paths send by text).
Build it
Create the path
Go to Offerings → Paths and click Create Path (or Add Path if you already have some). Under Choose a path type, pick Self-Paced Path.
Add the basics
Add a Cover Image (upload one or Choose from Gallery), a Path Name such as 21 Days of Stillness, and a one-line Description. Click Create path. The path opens as a Draft.
Add your first message
On the Schedule tab, click Add Schedule. Choose a Type (Prompt, Pro Tip or Task), set Day to 1st day, and pick a Time. Write the message under English. Add a Spanish version or an Attachment if you like. Click Add Schedule.
Add the remaining days
Repeat for the 2nd day through the 21st day. To load all 21 at once, use Import CSV instead. See Import messages from a spreadsheet.
Test it on yourself
On the Subscribers tab, click Add Subscriber and add your own test account (it must be in your audience). Check the first message lands the way you expect.
Publish
Click Publish at the top of the page. Then make sure the Soul Paths section is switched on in My Portal → Design so people can find it.
Tips
- Mix the three types. A rhythm of Prompt, Pro Tip and Task keeps a daily practice fresh. The type is only a label for you; members just see the message.
- Write in your own voice. These messages arrive in someone's text inbox. Address people the way you do in person.
- Not every day needs a message. A message on days 1, 3, 5 and 7 works well for lighter journeys.
- Pick a time that fits the practice. A morning intention at 7:00 AM, an evening reflection at 8:00 PM. Times follow each member's own time zone.
- Let Soul AI draft it. Ask Soul AI to "draft a 21-day path from my course" or paste your prompts, and approve the messages before they're saved.
If someone joins after the time of your 1st-day message has passed, their whole journey starts the next day. That's by design, so nobody misses Day 1.
What your members see
The path page says "Starts when you join." Members click Try This Path and get Day 1 at the time you chose, then one message per scheduled day. They can stop at any time with Leave This Path.
