EventON RSVP Events Waitlist

Description

The RSVP Events Waitlist add-on creates a waitlist for EventON events when maximum capacity is reached, automatically registering extra guests and offering released spots to the next person in line. The extension connects to EventON RSVP by adding a wait notice to the public form, dashboard tools to move people between confirmed and waiting status, and a dedicated email trigger only for guests on the waitlist.

Key Features

• Automatic waitlist
  Routes the guest to the queue when the RSVP reaches the capacity configured for the event.
• Automatic spot release
  Offers the vacant spot to the next person in line as soon as a confirmed guest cancels attendance.
• Admin management
  Marks guests on the waitlist on the event edit page and allows moving them to the attendee list.
• Visible front-end notice
  Shows the queue counter on the event card and displays a specific message on the RSVP form.
• Targeted email for the queue
  Sends communications exclusively to guests on the waitlist from the event dashboard.

Benefits of RSVP Events Waitlist

• Captured excess demand
  Keeps interested people registered even after official spots have sold out.
• Replacement without manual intervention
  Reduces the organizer’s work by automatically filling cancellations according to queue order.
• Transparency for the public
  Allows visitors to decide whether to join the queue by seeing how many people are already waiting.
• Targeted communication
  Makes it easier to send specific notices to those waiting without mixing them with the confirmed list.

Who Is It For?

• Event organizers with limited spots (workshops, lectures, training sessions, in-person courses) who already use EventON with the RSVP Addon.
• Cultural production companies, educational institutions, and clubs that need to maintain a structured waitlist after capacity is reached.
• Teams that run several simultaneous events on WordPress and want to centralize confirmed and waiting guests in the same dashboard.

Designed for those who manage RSVPs with fixed capacity in EventON, the module turns sold-out spots into a lead-capture opportunity by maintaining an active queue and processing cancellations without intervention. For workshops, training sessions, corporate meetings, and in-person courses with limited capacity, the component eliminates parallel spreadsheet tracking and keeps the entire cycle (registration, waiting, promotion, communication) within the plugin’s own dashboard.
