Why This Feature Matters

The outcomes you unlock

Measurable improvements that activate the moment you turn this on.

Capacity controls and waitlists

Set a maximum number of attendees per session. When a session fills, clients automatically join a waitlist and receive a notification if a spot opens up.

Per-seat payment collection

Charge each attendee individually at booking via Stripe. Run free sessions or paid workshops using the same scheduling flow.

Automatic video conference links

Every group session generates a unique Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams link automatically — shared with every confirmed attendee.

Deep Dive

Group Scheduling: The Infrastructure for Classes, Workshops, and Multi-Attendee Events

Service businesses that offer group sessions — yoga classes, group coaching, workshops, webinars, study groups, team training sessions — face a scheduling challenge that one-on-one booking systems aren't designed to address: multiple independent attendees booking the same event, with capacity limits, waitlists, and per-seat payment. These requirements don't fit neatly into standard appointment booking flows, which typically assume a single client booking a slot with a single provider. Schedly's group scheduling features address all of these requirements natively — capacity controls, waitlists, per-seat payment, and group-specific confirmation and reminder sequences.

"Group & Class Scheduling isn't a feature — it's infrastructure. The businesses that adopt it first compound the advantage every single day."

Capacity Management and Waitlists: Filling Every Group Session

The revenue maximization opportunity in group scheduling is ensuring every session runs at full capacity — and quickly filling any cancellation spots before the session date. Schedly's capacity management allows setting maximum attendee numbers per session, with automatic display of remaining spots on the booking page (creating social proof and urgency as sessions fill). When a session reaches capacity, new registrants automatically join a waitlist. When a registered attendee cancels, the first waitlisted person is notified immediately via SMS and email — typically converting a cancellation into a filled spot within minutes for in-demand sessions. This capacity optimization mechanism ensures that group session revenue is maximized without requiring manual waitlist management.

Group Communication: Coordinating Across Multiple Attendees

Group sessions create a unique communication challenge that one-on-one scheduling tools can't address: ensuring that every attendee has the information they need, that changes are communicated to all registrants simultaneously, and that the joining experience is identical for everyone. Schedly's group session management includes: a single joining link distributed to all confirmed attendees (generated automatically for Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams), reminder sequences sent simultaneously to all registrants, the ability to message all attendees from the session management panel, and cancellation notifications to all registrants simultaneously when a session is canceled. For providers running multiple concurrent group sessions, the ability to manage attendee communication at the session level rather than the individual booking level is a significant operational improvement.
