# How to clean up your waitlist in TurnUp World

## Do you have many patients on your waitlist and want to make sure they still wish to remain eligible for last-minute appointments? With the Waitlist Clean-up feature, you can easily keep your waitlist relevant and up to date.

### **🧹How does the clean-up work?**

- Patients who currently have one or more waitlist items **and** a valid email address will receive an email asking them whether they want to remain on the waitlist.
- Patients can:
  
    - Confirm they want to stay on the waitlist, or
    - Unsubscribe themselves easily.
- When a patient unsubscribes:
  
    - Your practice receives a notification.
    - The patient is moved to the **Unsubscribed** module.

### **✅ What are the benefits?**

- Your waitlist stays **relevant and up to date**, with only patients who are interested in your last-minute appointments.
- Last-minute appointments are offered to the interested patients, resulting in a **higher success rate and fewer empty slots** in your agenda.
