Business value
Ensuring marketing events are filled to capacity is crucial for success and return on investment. To encourage a high turnout for marketing events, you can now enable waitlist registrations, which ensures spots are filled when registered attendees cancel.
By setting the capacity for events and sessions, prospective attendees are placed on a waitlist when events and sessions are full. Should a slot open, the system automatically registers the individual next on the waitlist, who then automatically receives registration confirmation and personalized event information, ensuring your event is filled to capacity.
Feature details
Event capacity and waitlist registrations include the ability to:
- Enable a waitlist for your event and sessions to maximize attendance.
- Easily review the list of waitlist registrations and build a waitlist segment for any further communication with interested attendees.
- Send the relevant event and waitlist registration communication effortlessly with out-of-the-box trigger-based journeys.
- Add an out-of-the-box cancellation button in your emails to let uninterested attendees release their spot to someone else.
