Custom Automation: Notify Students of Cancellations in My Music Staff

Managing schedules in music schools is challenging. One common issue in My Music Staff is what happens when a student cancels: the slot stays empty, while other students who want lessons never find out.

That’s why I built a custom automation to notify students when another cancels in My Music Staff, keeping schedules full and students happy.

The Challenge: Missed Opportunities

Without automation, a canceled lesson often means:

• Empty time slots.
• Lost revenue for the school.
• Frustrated students who wanted extra classes but didn’t know a spot was free.

Music teachers asked:

“Is there a way to alert other students when someone cancels in My Music Staff?”

The answer is yes.

The Solution: Automatic Cancellation Notifications

Using the My Music Staff API with PHP, I built a custom automation that:

• Detects instantly when a student cancels a lesson.
• Checks which students still have credits available.
• Sends those students an automatic email notification about the open slot.
• Lets them log in and book it immediately.

This ensures that every canceled spot is quickly filled.

The Results: Happier Students, Smoother School

After implementing this solution:

• No more wasted time slots.
• Students maximize their lesson credits.
• The school runs more efficiently, without manual reminders.
• Parents and students feel better served.

FAQ: My Music Staff Cancellation Notifications

Q: Can My Music Staff automatically notify students when another cancels?
A: By default, no. My Music Staff does not offer built-in cancellation alerts to other students. That’s why I built this automation.

Q: Who gets notified of the canceled slot?
A: The automation can filter by students with remaining credits or by your custom rules.

Q: Does this work only with email?
A: The most common setup is email, but it can be extended to SMS or WhatsApp with additional integrations.

Q: Do I need technical knowledge to use it?
A: Not at all. Once I set it up, it runs automatically in the background.
