The options and their limits

Three sessions of twelve. When Tuesday is full, it closes on the form and staff choose Thursday or Friday.

In this example Thursday, 1:30 pm is full and two people are waiting for it.

36 places in total. That is more than the free plan covers. Setup tells you before you share the form, and unlocking costs $12, paid once.

What people see

People fill in your ordinary Google Form. Under the question they see how many places are left for each option. A full option is hidden, or marked "full, join the waiting list".

  • Anyone who joins a waiting list gets an email with their number in line.
  • When a place opens up, the next person gets it and an email saying so.
  • Emails come from your own Google account, so replies come to you.

  • Someone cannot attend

    Press Free this place in Your list. The first person waiting for that session gets it and an email.

  • Calendar invites

    Choice Limit does not add sessions to anyone's calendar. Send invites the way you do now.

  • Booking twice

    Your list marks anyone who booked more than once, so you can free the extra place.
