The RSVP waitlist for event organizers

Two hundred spots for the rooftop session, a presale list for the tour, a pop-up open Friday and Saturday. Unwaited gives every RSVP a number, closes the list at capacity, and hands you a CSV or a webhook when doors open.

The problem

What goes wrong for event organizers

RSVPs never stop

The form takes 400 names for 200 spots and you spend the week before the event writing apologies.

Nobody knows if they are in

People RSVP and hear nothing. They message the day before to ask.

The list lives in three tools

A form, a sheet, and an email tool that disagree about who signed up.

Why Unwaited

Built for this line, not a generic form

  • A total capacity that closes the list at 200 and shows the full message, or a one-off window with an open and close time for a presale.
  • Every RSVP gets a number, a confirmation email, and a status link they can use to give their spot back.
  • CSV export with every field, and webhooks on Starter and Pro to push names into your email tool.

FAQ

Questions

Does it sell tickets?

No. Unwaited takes names and enforces capacity. Payments and ticket scanning stay with your ticketing tool.

Can I open signups at a specific time?

Yes. Set a one-off open and close time for the event. Before it opens, visitors see the closed screen with the opening time in their own time zone.

Can I use the same list for the next event?

Yes. Remove the old entries or set a retention window so they expire, update the name and dates, and share the same link.
