How to use Waitlists: a step-by-step guide

Setting up the waitlist

• Medtribe automatically defaults to the "Express Interest" function
  • Express interest: when a space becomes available, all on the list get notified of the space at the same time
• The organiser can choose to set the waitlist to manual
  • Manual Waitlist: the organiser chooses who to notify of a space becoming available
  • To set this you have to adjust your ticket
  • This can be done in the "Tickets" tab or the "Sessions"

Booking deadlines

• Ensure booking deadlines haven’t passed so notified individuals can still make their bookings.
• This is done within the "Sessions" tab

Seeing who is on the waitlist

• Go to the "Attendees" tab

• You can see who is on the list
  • If on "Manual Waitlist" you can notify users when there is a space available
  • If on "Express Interest" they will automatically be notified of a space
  • You are also able to export the waitlist as a CSV by clicking "Export"

Conclusion

Waitlists efficiently manage event interest, allowing organisers to manually notify about new spaces or use the "Express Interest" option for automatic alerts.
