Joining the Waitlist
When a class or event is fully booked, customers can join the waitlist for a chance at an open spot. There are three ways they can get on the waitlist.
In this article:
- Through Your Website Calendar
- Directly on the Event's Sign-Up Page

- What Happens After Joining
Through Your Website Calendar
-
Your customer visits your website and finds your calendar.

-
They select the sold-out time slot they're interested in.

- When prompted, they click Join Waitlist.
-
They fill out the contact form with their name, email, phone number and number of seats.

- They click Join Waitlist to confirm and see a confirmation pop-up once successfully added.
Directly on the Event's Sign-Up Page
If you share a direct link to a sold-out event — via email, social media, or anywhere else — customers can click that link to land directly on the event's sign-up page and join the waitlist from there.
-
From your Occasion Workspace, open the event. Click the Share button.

-
Copy the link to the event.

- Share it with the customer and they can join the waitlist for the sold out event.
Added by You
If a customer contacts you directly — by phone, email, or message — about a sold-out event, you can add them to the waitlist on their behalf from your Occasion Workspace.
- Go to Calendar from the sidebar and open the sold-out time slot.
- Click Quick Order at the bottom left of the pop-up.
-
Click Join Waitlist, enter the customer's contact details, and confirm.

What Happens After Joining
Once a customer is on the waitlist, here's what to expect:
- If you have automated notifications on — they'll receive an email and text automatically if a spot opens up that fits their party size. The first person to book gets the spot.
-
If you manage your waitlist manually — you'll reach out to them by email or text when a spot becomes available.

Customers do not receive a confirmation email when they join the waitlist. Their spot in line is saved as soon as they see the confirmation pop-up.
