The guest experience during the waitlist registration process
When the guest lands on your event website, they will see an action button which brings up the waiting list registration form.
After the prospect guest successfully completes this form, they will receive an email confirming that they have been added to the waiting list.
You (the event organizer) will also receive a similar email notification. Then, you can decide whether to confirm or decline them at anytime before the event. Learn how to confirm waitlisted guests, below.
Enable waiting list registrations
First, go to the Website tab and change the Action button to "Apply to Attend."
Then, publish your Diobox Website. This will always show your registration form through your Diobox Website URL.
Alternatively, you can embed the waitlist button on any external website. Refer to your Event Settings: Embed Code.
Find all waitlisted guests
To find all existing guests with the Waitlisted status, go to the Guests page and select the Guest List dropdown.
Then, select Waitlisted under the Segments section.
Confirm waitlisted guests
After a new person is waitlisted, they will show up in the Guests page with a yellow color tag. Click on that dropdown to change their confirmation status.
A prompt will confirm this action and will also give you the option to send the guest a confirmation email about their updated status.
You can also confirm multiple guests at one time by selecting them and changing their status in bulk.
