What's new on the Waitwhile platform in August ✨

Delight your customers with the new Confirmation Status page 🔗

We’ve created an even better experience for your guests with our latest redesign. When your guests join your waitlist or schedule a booking they’ll get a link to this page where they can:

  • Let you know if they have arrived or are running late
  • See the full waitlist to see who is ahead of them in the line
  • Share the visit info with the rest of their party
  • Get directions to your business

Waitwhile is moving to app.waitwhile.com  ⚠️

We’ve changed the domain from v2.waitwhile.com to app.waitwhile.com. Here’s what you need to know:

  • When accessing Waitwhile, you should use app.waitwhile.com going forward. Don’t worry, the old domain will still work and just redirect you over to the new one 👍
  • Your customer-facing public links will continue to work and just redirect the visitor over to the new domain.

→ Feel free to start using app.waitwhile.com right away 👍

Never miss a beat with User Notifications 🔔

Getting Waitwhile notifications is a great way to stay on-top of changes and updates in your waitlist and appointments. You’ll get a text, email or web push notification each time a customer signs up, cancels or has arrived.

  • Email and Web notifications are now available on the Free and Starter Plan! 🎉
  • SMS notifications are available on the Business and Enterprise Plans.

Under Notification Settings you can choose which updates trigger a notification and how you would like to be notified!

Streamline your Customer Registration with our automated Pre-fill parameters ⚙️

Your public Waitwhile links now support pre-filling info for your customers when they register using URL query parameters.

For example, if you link a customer to app.waitwhile.com/welcome/waitwhile-demo?name=friend&email=<<Email Address>> it will preselect the email and name in the registration flow. This is great if you send emails to customers to join your waitlist or make online bookings to save them time!

You can also pre-fill the Service, Resource and a lot more.
