What happens?

  • End customer receives an email when a block or appointment (on a specific date) is canceled/moved, creating a new available time slot for the service or menu that must 'fit' into the new available time slot.

  • End customer also receives an email when an appointment is canceled/rescheduled by another customer on that specific date (via online booking/email cancellation)

  • Works for every appointment/block that is removed, also in cabins

  • The email asks to call the salon if interested

Requirements:

  • Checkbox “Waiting list mailer” must be enabled in "calendar settings" (advanced).

  • End customer is allowed to put themselves on the waiting list
    Settings → Calendar→ Online booking → Online waiting list

  • End customer must have an email address.

  • End customer must be on the waiting list on a certain date.

  • End customer must be on the waiting list with a specific service/menu

  • The selected service or menu must 'fit' into the newly available time slot

  • The end customer needs to be on the list before a spot opens up

Important to know!

  • Does not work for the end customer on the list without a date.

  • Does not take personal working time' (!) into account '

  • Does not take the chosen 'time field' in the waiting list (!) into account '
    (for example '12 pm' as the customer's preferred time)

  • The end customer cannot book this appointment, and needs to call.

  • The e-mail can only be sent 1 X a day

  • When canceling or deleting an appointment/block and creating a new place = email sent immediately

  • In case of moving an appointment/block and creating a new place = email will be sent after a few minutes
