How the waitlist works
When every future time with a teacher is taken, the booking page shows Join Waitlist for that teacher instead of times. Nothing to switch on.
What families do
- They click Join Waitlist and enter the student name, their name, email, and phone if you require one.
- They get an email saying they are on the waitlist for that teacher.
- When a booking with that teacher is cancelled or moved, the first family waiting gets an email, and a text if they said yes to texts, saying a time opened up.
- They open the link and book like anyone else. The first family to book the open time gets it.
What you see
- The Booked card on the night page shows how many are waiting.
- A Waitlist table lists Teacher, Family, Student, and Status. Status reads Waiting, or Told a spot opened with the time.
Good to know
- Families are not booked into the open time automatically. One family is told per opening, in the order they joined.
- A teacher with a long waitlist can open more time by tapping Unblock on blocked times in their link. You can also book a waiting family yourself with Book for a family.
