Introducing: Geo-fencing 🌎

What is Geo-fencing? Great question. Geo-fencing makes it easy for you to restrict your guests' ability to add themselves to the waitlist or book an appointment unless they are nearby, within the radius you set around your business.

Ticket number for your guest experience 🎟️​

Ever wanted to have your customers sign up to your waitlist or make a booking without providing any personal data? Now you can! 🎉

This is how to set it up: 

1. Go to Settings > Customers > Input fields

2. Scroll down to "Display fields", and toggle on "Show ticket ID for customer". This will make sure both your staff see it internally on the waitlist/booking pages, as well as your customers seeing it on their end when signing up.

No more manual version updates ✌️

We've now changed the way our version updates work ⚡️. In the past, you would receive a banner at the top of the product where you'd have to click the update button to get the newest version. 

Now, we're handling that automatically for you! So any time you navigate to a new page or refresh your page, we'll automatically make sure you get the newest version. 

Say goodbye to manual updates

Customize Resources & Services through our API

We have now launched meta attributes for services and resources! 🤩

This will allow you to use our API to store custom data about services and resources that isn't standard within Waitwhile. This could be anything you like, such as staff data coming from your CRM system or discounts for services for example. 

Read more about it in our developer guide.
