Sharing Slots

Slots are built to be shared. Every Slot has its own URL and a branded link-preview card, so posting it anywhere turns one opening into a claimable product.

Green = the main path · copper = the waitlist path · filled green = start / done.

  1. ↗

    A single opening with its own URL and branded preview card.

Is the Slot still open?

Open
  1. Claim a seat and enter details + intake answers.
  2. Pay the deposit or full amount — the seat is held ~15 min during checkout (Stripe).
  3. Payment succeeds → Confirmed. (Hold expires or fails → the seat reopens.)
Full / already claimed
  1. Join the waitlist with contact info.
  2. A seat frees up (a cancel or no-show) → waitlist gets alerted.
  3. First to claim wins → rejoins the Open path above.

    Confirmed

    Confirmation email + reminders sent; the appointment lands on your calendar.

Group Slots: each seat is claimed and paid for independently until the Slot is full — then it closes automatically.

The share bar

Open any Slot and use the Share controls:

  • On mobile, the native share sheet leads — send to Messages, WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, or anywhere else in one tap.
  • On desktop, you get the full row of targets plus Copy link, Email, and Text.

When you paste a Slot link into iMessage, WhatsApp, Discord, Facebook, or X, it unfurls into a provider-branded preview card — your name, the service, and the price — with a slot-green call to action. Three states are generated automatically:

  • Open — “first to claim wins.”
  • Claimed — the Slot has been taken.
  • Expired — the time has passed; the card is honest about it (no dead “book me” preview).

The “first to claim wins” mechanic

A shared Slot is public: anyone with the link can claim it, and the first to complete checkout gets it. That’s the point — it creates urgency and fills openings fast. For higher-capacity Slots, each seat is claimed independently until the Slot is full.
