What an awesome feature! Is there a way for clients to add themselves to the waitlist for their ideal time slots within their user account?
Robyn,
This will be a feature that has bee approved. I do not have a timeframe for completion.
Thanks,

Wonderful--another thing that would be helpful would be a calendar "invite" type of function. Meaning, I may not want to open my availability to all clients, but if I could specifically send an invite quickly (versus texting or emailing) to a client to accept within Noterro announcing to them, "hey I can do Thursday at 6:00 if you're interested." I guess this would work similarly to inviting someone to an event in standard calendars. Or perhaps on the availability management side of customization--having available appointments to a limited range of clients.
Robyn,
You can do what you are describing now. When the waitlist list is displayed, you can select just an individual, or when you do select Notify, within that list, you can eliminate people you do not want to notify.
Thanks,

Oh yes I understand that function--but that is in the context of the availability being posted online. Cancellation comes in, you notify waitlist, in the interim someone could conceivably book that spot online that you wanted reserved for that one person, correct? I was thinking a way to invite and/or make the actual availability limited as well. Hopefully that makes sense?
Robyn,
I created a ticket to further this discussion.
Thanks,
Nick
We love the waitlist!
But it suddenly has now sorted the waitlist in alphabetical order versus when they were added to the waitlist. Is there a way to sort it back to when they were added?
Thanks!
