Queues

Overview

XPKit provides a virtual queuing system so visitors do not have to stand in a long line waiting for their turn to take part at an event.

See the managing queues case study for how and why you might want to use this service.

Queue updates and notifications

A queue can be configured so notifications are sent when a person's position (queueitem) in the queue changes. For example you can set up a rule so that an SMS is sent when a visitor reaches the head of the queue.

The Queues API also provides endpoints for the management of queue items. Items should be updated as they move up (or down) the queue.

All changes in the queue are broadcast over a websocket.
