Send Watch Notifications to your Discord server

We have a couple of new and exciting addons available for MIDAS v4.40+.

Our optional “Discord” addon joins our existing range of addons which allow events occurring in your MIDAS booking system to be posted to your organization’s communication channels.

We already have addons that support popular communication platforms Slack and Microsoft Teams. Now we’re adding Discord to this list.

Discord is a popular free communication platform that allows users to interact through text, voice, and video. Users can join or create servers, which are essentially chat rooms organized around a specific topic.

Setting up this new MIDAS addon is as simple as obtaining a Discord WebHook URL, and selecting which MIDAS user’s Watch notifications should be sent to your Discord server.

Create Zoom Meetings from bookings

We have a couple of exciting brand new addons available for MIDAS v4.40+.

Our optional “Zoom Meetings” addon adds a “Create Zoom Meeting” option to the Booking Availability screen.

If this option is selected when a booking is added, a corresponding Zoom meeting will also be automatically scheduled for the same time (an active Zoom account is required).

You can also configure the addon to automatically send a link to the Zoom meeting to the client via email, and for that link to be stored in a custom field for the booking, allowing users easy access to it.

A number of other settings are available too, which can be used to customize the Zoom meetings that this addon can automatically schedule…

Expanding possibilities

Not only does the new Zoom Meetings addon make it simple to schedule Zoom meetings which correspond to your bookings, but it also opens up new possibilities!

Until now, MIDAS could primarily be used to book and schedule ‘physical’ spaces and resources.

But with the addition of the Zoom Meetings addon, MIDAS can now be used to schedule “virtual” spaces and meetings with your clients.

This opens up MIDAS to new business sectors who use Zoom as a primary tool for client communications, such as…

  • Online Counselling
  • Consulting and Coaching – Business consultants, life, career, or executive coaches, marketing consultants.
  • Education and Training – Tutors and educators, corporate trainers, language tutors.
  • Financial and Legal Services – Financial planners, accountants, bookkeepers, lawyers and legal consultants.
  • Health and Wellness (non-counseling) – Personal trainers and fitness coaches, dietitians and nutritionists, meditation or yoga instructors.
