About the Wix Bookings Attendance API

About the attendance object

The Attendance object holds information about the attendance of a booked session, such as:

• Did anyone attend the session?
• How many people attended the session?

The number of session Attendance objects available depends on session types:

• Appointment sessions have 1 Attendance object per appointment.
• Class sessions have an Attendance object for each session of the class. The number of sessions for a class is defined in Schedule and Sessions' schedule.capacity property.
• Course sessions have an Attendance object for each session of the course. The number of sessions for a class is defined in Schedule and Sessions' schedule.capacity property.

Use cases

Common business usages for this API include:

• Set the attendance for a given booked session to reflect how many attendees checked in.
• Query the attendance for a given participant in a course booking.
• Query attendance for a particular booking's sessions over time to see if a particular session has frequent no-shows. You can compare the number of attendees to the number of participants that signed up for that booking's sessions.

Terminology

Before you begin

• Validation capabilities are limited. Make sure your code validates that:

  • There is no mismatch between numberOfAttendees and attendanceStatus to make sure, for example, that attendanceStatus is not NOT_ATTENDED while numberOfAttendees is 5.
  • The attendance's numberOfAttendees and the booking's numberOfParticipants correspond. For example, the number of attendees usually should not exceed the booking's intended number of participants (unless perhaps you allow walk-ins that did not sign up in advance).

• To use the Bookings Services API, import { attendance } from the wix-bookings.v2 module in your Velo code:

  import { attendance } from 'wix-bookings.v2';
