Waitlist Overview

Your Waitlist is a powerful tool, yet incredibly simple to use. There’s nothing for you to set up. It’s ready to use as soon as you create your RedCarpet Account. When someone is interested in booking your property but the dates they want are unavailable, they simply follow the link to your custom Waitlist website. They add themself to your Waitlist and will automatically be notified if the dates become available. The notification directs them to your preferred platform to book.

How guests make Waitlist requests

Tap the Waitlist menu item in the WatchDog section of the sidebar. Then simply tap the “Copy” button to the right of your shareable URL to copy it to your clipboard and paste it anywhere to share with potential guests. 

Step 1. Confirm email

When the user follows your link they are first asked to confirm their email address. When they enter their email and tap the “Send sign-in link” button, they are sent and email with their “Log In” link.

Step 2. Select Property

The emailed “Log In” link takes the user to your list of properties prompting them to select the property they’re interested in.

Step 3. Complete the request form

The user enter the date-range they are interested in, enters their name, and any notes they want to add. Then they tap the “Join Waitlist” button and are taken to their confirmation page.

View your Waitlist requests

Waitlist requests will be shown in the list at the bottom of your Waitlist page.
