Give Students A Message or Project Access On Account Creation
Problem: When kids sign up, they only get empty projects and tutorials. I told my kids I wanted them to work on a specific project in soundtrap, but when they got in, they couldn't see anything but their own empty project. 15 kids/parents out of 36 now in emailed me frantically - some thought they weren't in my class, some thought they did something wrong, some thought it was broken...they emailed the school admins next if I didn't get back to them fast enough, and those get forwarded back to me.
Functionality hoped for: I just need to be able to give my kids a message, an assignment, or access to a specific project to let them know that they've completed the step of making a soundtrap account in my class successfully.
Minimum functionality requested: if it auto-sends a welcome message, let me customize it to say what I need to tell MY students. That would have saved me a couple hours of headache :D
OR
Even if it just automatically says "Welcome to Jake's class! Jake will invite you to... For now, you can make your own project by..."

Absolutely! Soundtrap for Education is currently not been configured in a coherent way for an online classroom environment. Sometimes when I create an assignment for my students, the students are able to click on the assignment link and begin work on their own copy of a project file, and when they click on "Save" it saves to the appropriate assignment folder that I have created.
On other assignments, it seems none of that works, and they get an error message saying "no such project exists it seems." I am not sure what is going on with this app. When I have attempted to contact customer service, they do respond, but seem to have a really difficult time understanding the configuration issues I have outlined for them.
