StraightText - Church Texting

StraightText is a bulk iMessage and SMS platform that churches can use to send announcements, reminders, and prayer requests directly from their own phone number. Messages appear as native iMessages (“blue bubbles”), which increases trust and open rates compared to generic SMS. The platform integrates with tools like Google Sheets and Zapier for automation, and it allows rich media (images, links, videos) in messages. The service is marketed to ministries as a way to boost event attendance and engagement, but it is a commercial texting tool rather than a nonprofit ministry resource.
