Confirm webinar places, waitlist the rest
Webinars have a limit, and people want to know where they stand. When someone submits your sign-up form, this counts the people already marked Confirmed in your sign-ups sheet. While there are places left, they are added as Confirmed and emailed a confirmation; once it is full they are added as Waitlisted and told so.
The form needs the questions Full name and Email, and the sheet the columns Name, Email and Status. Type the number of places when you set it up.
