Waitlist Backfill Agent

Cancellation hits → top 3 waitlisters texted in 60 seconds. Replaces Vagaro waitlist $25/mo + lost chair time.

The problem

Vagaro and Mindbody charge $25-$85/mo for basic waitlists that just sit there — when a client cancels at 9am, the front desk is too busy to manually call the waitlist, so the $120 slot stays empty. Average salon loses 4-6 chair hours a week to no-shows that never get backfilled.

What changes

Cancellation webhook fires → agent scores waitlisters by service match + availability + loyalty → texts top 3 with a 10-minute claim window → auto-books the first reply → updates the schedule. Every empty slot gets one real attempt to fill it.

A day in the life

What this agent actually does.

  1. 1

    10:04am: client cancels 11am color → agent texts 3 matched waitlisters with 10-min claim window

  2. 2

    10:07am: waitlister #2 replies YES → agent books the appointment, sends confirmation to client + stylist

  3. 3

    10:12am: slot filled, $145 recovered, front desk never touched the keyboard
