Hi! I’m using Calendly to help customers book learning sessions, and I have a large team of people who can host these sessions. It would be great if Calendly could create a waitlist option so that if I’m not specifically available at the customer’s desired time, I could know what the customer prefers and then check with my team to see if anyone else is available to lead that learning session with the customer.

Hi @Micaela84213! Thanks for reaching out!

Yes while it is not a current feature, I do think this is a fantastic idea. I’ve gone ahead and sent this over to our product team. I was able to find a request made for this already, so hopefully with more support, we’ll see this in the future!


Hello, I would second that request. My clients somehow are left with no immediate optionsfor scheduling and it would be great to have a waitlist option. Do you have a sense on the timing of getting this product available?

Hi! I’d like to third this request - we host training sessions with a pretty high demand, so sometimes we end up booked out weeks for customers to be able to schedule a training.

The issue is, sometimes a customer has to cancel same-day because of the industry we work in. It would be great for us to have a sort of “waitlist” for customers who have requested a training session weeks out, so that we could reach out to those customers if we have a cancellation and offer a sooner time for them, rather than them having to wait even though we have open spots available that day.


I'd like to support the request for a waitlist feature for our business’s training sessions. Due to high demand, our sessions often get booked weeks in advance. Unfortunately, we experience same-day cancellations that leave open slots, while other customers are required to wait multiple weeks to schedule a session. 

A waitlist would allow us to:

  • Optimize training session capacity: Fill last-minute cancellations efficiently.
  • Reduce customer wait times: Offer sooner training opportunities to waitlisted customers.
  • Improve customer satisfaction: Provide a better and more flexible experience.

 


I’d also like to support the request. It takes up a huge amount of my time to inform waiting clients about a free timeslot.


I would also like to support the request. This would automate a lot of second order booking issues.  
Thanks
