EventOn RSVP Events Waitlist Add-on

Popular events fill up fast, and cancellations leave empty seats that someone else would gladly take. This add-on gives full events a waitlist right on the event card. Guests who miss out can sign up, see the current waitlist size and read notices written for waitlist members, so they know where they stand.

For organizers, the work happens in the event dashboard and on the event edit page. RSVP and waitlist capacity settings sit together, and waitlisted guests can be reviewed and moved to the attendee list. When a cancellation occurs, waitlisted guests are transferred to attendees automatically. It needs the core EventON plugin and the RSVP Events Add-on to run.

Features

• Waitlist on the event card: Once an event reaches capacity, guests can join a waitlist directly from the event card, so interested people are not turned away.
• Automatic notifications: Alerts go out when spots open up, and waitlisted guests are notified automatically, which shortens the wait for confirmations on last-minute openings.
• Visible waitlist count: Attendees can see how large the waitlist is, which gives them a clear picture of their chances and may encourage earlier sign-ups.
• Dashboard guest management: Look through waitlisted guests in the event dashboard, sort the list, and shift people between the waitlist and the attendee list whenever you need to.
• Targeted waitlist emails: Send customized emails to waitlisted participants from the backend, so the people waiting stay informed about their status.
• Waitlist-specific RSVP notices: Confirmation messages and notices are tailored for guests who join the waitlist, which makes the communication clearer.
• Combined RSVP and waitlist settings: Manage RSVP and waitlist capacities and preferences on the event edit page, so setup and later changes happen in one place.
• Automatic waitlist conversion: When a cancellation occurs, waitlisted guests are moved to the attendee list automatically, with no manual step needed.
