Join in Acuity
The client books one dedicated Acuity waitlist-intake service for the full class they want.
Acuity group class waitlists
Show every full class where the next seat should go.
Aculio sits beside Acuity and turns a full roster into a visible, automated waitlist with seat-open SMS alerts, without forcing clients into a separate external join form.

What changes
How does waitlist acuity scheduling manage group classes?
Aculio operates alongside Acuity Scheduling to automatically capture waitlist demand through a dedicated intake flow, detect cancellations, and instantly broadcast seat-open SMS alerts to waitlisted clients.

The first-look takeaway
It is not another calendar. It is the line outside the full class.
Visitors should instantly see that Aculio answers one concrete question: when someone cancels, how does the studio alert the waitlist fast enough to alert interested clients the moment a seat reopens in Acuity?
