How does it handle a caller trying to book into a class that's already completely full?

On Premium with your scheduling platform connected, Voksha checks the class's availability before confirming anything, so it doesn't tell a caller a full class has room, which is the failure mode studios worry about most (a member showing up to a class that's actually full because the phone system oversold it). When a class is full, it tells the caller directly rather than leaving them uncertain, and then offers the practical next-best options your studio actually supports: taking their details so your team can add them to the waitlist if your platform has one enabled, or booking into the next available class in the same format, say the 7am spin class instead of the fully booked 6am one. For popular specialty classes that fill up predictably, a signature Saturday-morning format, a visiting instructor's workshop, this waitlist-and-alternative flow is genuinely valuable because these are also the classes most likely to generate a burst of calls right when booking opens, and handling those calls one at a time during that burst is exactly the kind of task a small front desk team struggles to do accurately under pressure. If a studio doesn't use waitlists at all, Voksha simply presents the caller with the next few open time slots in the same class format rather than leaving them with only a "sorry, it's full, call back later" outcome, keeping the interaction as close to a completed booking as the actual availability allows, which matters for converting a still-interested caller instead of losing them entirely.
