# Joining a Waitlist

> How to join a waitlist for a full shift and what happens when a spot opens up.

When a shift is full, some organizers let you join a waitlist. If a spot opens up, you'll be offered the chance to claim it — no account needed.

## Joining the waitlist

1. **Open the event link** — the same public link you'd use to sign up.
2. **Find a full shift** — full shifts show a **FULL** badge. If the organizer enabled a waitlist, you'll see a **Join Waitlist** button with your would-be position (for example, "Join Waitlist · #2").
3. **Tap Join Waitlist** — enter your name and email.
4. **Confirm** — you'll see your spot on the waitlist and we'll email you if a spot opens up.

<Note>If you don't see a **Join Waitlist** button on a full shift, the organizer hasn't enabled a waitlist for that event, or the waitlist is already full.</Note>

## Your waitlist status

The link in your email takes you to your waitlist page, which shows one of:

* **You're on the waitlist** — your current position in line (for example, "#2 in line").
* **A spot opened up!** — you've been offered a spot and can claim it.
* **Waitlist offer closed** — the offer expired or is no longer available.

## When a spot opens up

If a spot becomes available, you'll get an email and your waitlist page will show **A spot opened up!**

* **Accept the spot** — click **Accept spot** to confirm your registration. If the organizer added sign-up questions, you'll answer them here first.
* **Decline** — click **Decline** to pass on the spot. It moves to the next person in line.

<Note>Offers don't last forever. Your page shows a "Respond by" time — if you don't accept before then, the spot is offered to the next person.</Note>

After you accept, you'll be taken to a confirmation page and receive a confirmation email, just like a regular sign-up.

## Leaving the waitlist

Changed your mind? Open your waitlist page and click **Leave waitlist**, then confirm. You'll be removed from the line and won't be offered a spot.
