Allow only known customers to register πŸ‘₯

Holding a special event and want to allow existing customers only? You are in luck...we just added this requested feature! 📣 

This feature will allow you to choose who you would like to join your waitlist or schedule an appointment at your business. Only customers that are available under your Customers page will be allowed. 

It's super easy! To restrict unknown customers on the waitlist head over to Settings > Waitlist > Waitlist rules and toggle on "only allow known customer to join ".

--> Merely toggle this on for bookings as well under Settings > Bookings > Booking rules

Adding a new location for this event - simply import your allowed customers into the Customers Page and toggle on this new feature!

Don't forget to customize your customer info data fields by clicking 'edit' next to each field.

The possibilities are endless! 🙌

Add a second booking reminder alert πŸ””πŸ””


Who doesn't need a little extra reminder sometimes? 

We've come to realize that sometimes one booking reminder message just isn't enough, especially if you tend to have bookings that are scheduled more than a day in advance.  So now you can add a second Booking reminder that allows you to stagger these reminder alerts. 

To get started adding a second Booking Reminder, just head over to the Bookings tab of your Alerts Settings and select the blue plus sign to set up a second alert reminder time.

Improvements to Customer Options fields

The ability to add your own input fields for your customers to fill in when they join your waitlist and schedule a booking adds a lot of flexibility to Waitwhile.

We've now made it even more flexible by adding some new rule options to your custom fields.

1. Set a minimum and maximum value requirement

You can now specify minimum and maximum value/requirement for your custom fields. 

Example: You would like to set a min/max value for age groups at a youth sports signup event. Your guests will receive an error and be prompted to enter proper value if not entered correctly. 


2. Show a field only for specific Services

If you want to collect extra information if guests pick a certain service, you're now in luck. You can now set this for the custom field so that it will only show up for the specified services (by default it will show for all services).

Example: You only want to ask for the Age Group if the guest selects the Youth Football Tournament service but not if they pick the All Ages Practice service.


3. Custom fields now show in the customer's visit history

You can now see any custom fields under the Visits tab for a customer for their previous visits. This is great if you want to quickly see information about the customer and learn about their previous interactions with your business.

Improvements to Flagging and Un-Flagging customers

Waitwhile allows you to "flag" a customer that misbehaves or that you want to keep an eye on, if they visit you again. By flagging a customer it will show "Flagged" next to their name in the waitlist or booking calendar. You can also disallow a flagged customer from being able to sign up at your business!

We've now made it easier to manage your Flagged customer. From the Customer Page you can now update the Flagged status for a customer by clicking on customer name and setting status in action drawer.
