Waitlist Functionality for Group Bookings - Feature Request
It would be great to see a waitlist option available for group bookings, that way if someone cancels their booking, anyone on a waitlist for the event could receive and email notifying them that a spot is open, first come first serve.
I'm currently using FluentBooking on a site where users can register for a group exercise class that has just 10 spots available. Rather than show the class full and turn people away, what if they could be added to a waitlist group for that event? It would create a race condition where whatever user might see the email and snag the spot first would have the opportunity to get the booking. But I think that would be better than.
This would be similar to how some WooCommerce waitlist plugins work. If a product is out of stock, users can register to be notified when stock is replenished. But in this case, it would be spots in a group booking.
Would anyone else benefit from this kind of feature?
Hey Shahjahan Jewel, have you received any other feature request like this for waitlist functionality within FluentBooking? Or would you suggest some other workflow within FluentCRM to build a waitlist automation?
Jon Phillips We don't have any plan for such feature. It's a booking scheduling plugin so don't want to make it super complicated. But if you want to extend it and build an addon please feel free to do that and if you need any API or something, please let us know.
