How to Add a Waitlist to Beacons (Link the Hosted Page)

Beacons is a link in bio and creator storefront: links, email capture, and digital products in one page. If you are launching something, a waitlist fits naturally next to your other links. Here is how to add a waitlist to Beacons — a Beacons waitlist in about two minutes.

Beacons does not run custom JavaScript, so the GetWaitly widget's <script> tag will not execute. The reliable method is a link to GetWaitly's hosted page — which is exactly how link-in-bio tools are meant to work. An iframe of the hosted page pasted into a Text block sometimes renders too, but Beacons can strip or mangle it, so treat the link as the default.

The short answer

Publish GetWaitly's hosted page, then add it as a link on your Beacons page. One tap opens a polished signup page — a waitlist on Beacons with no code and no embed.

Step 1 — Publish your hosted page

In your GetWaitly dashboard, open the waitlist and publish the hosted page. Set the headline, description, accent color, and font. Your page lives at:

https://getwaitly.com/w/YOUR_WAITLIST_ID

Copy that URL.

Step 2 — Add it to Beacons

1. Open your Beacons editor.
2. Add a new Beacons link.
3. Set the title (for example, "Join the waitlist") and paste the hosted page URL.
4. Save and publish.

Step 3 — Test it

Tap the link on your live Beacons page and submit a test email. Confirm the subscriber appears in your GetWaitly dashboard.

Why a hosted page is the right fit here

• No script. Beacons blocks custom JavaScript, so the widget cannot run. The hosted page needs none.
• One tap. Visitors land on a focused page with a single job.
• Full branding. The page matches your accent color and font, even though it is not embedded.

Make the link convert

• Use a clear label: "Join the waitlist", "Get early access", or "Join 1,200 others".
• Put it near the top while you are collecting.
• Turn on referrals so each subscriber gets a link and grows the list for you.

What you get from the hosted page

• A styled signup form matching your accent color and font
• Optional name, phone, and custom questions
• Referral links and queue positions (Starter plan and above)
• Broadcast emails with open and click tracking (Starter and above)
• Analytics: views, signups, conversion rate, 30-day trend

FAQ

Can I embed a waitlist form directly in Beacons?

Not with a script tag — Beacons does not execute custom JavaScript. Link to GetWaitly's hosted page instead, or try an iframe in a Text block (see below).

Can I embed the waitlist in Beacons with an iframe?

Sometimes. Beacons blocks <script> tags, but its Text block will render pasted iframe code, so an iframe of your hosted page can appear inline. It works for some creators, yet Beacons can strip or mangle iframes — especially on mobile — and the embedded page is stuck inside a fixed-height frame. The link is more reliable and gives the signup page the full screen, so start there.

Does the hosted page collect emails?

Yes. It is a real GetWaitly form. Submissions land in your waitlist dashboard with referrals and analytics.

Can I track Beacons traffic?

Yes. Add a utm_source=beacons to the link and the signups show up in your UTM breakdown in the dashboard.

Is it free?

Yes. The free plan includes the hosted page, analytics, and up to 100 subscribers. Referrals and broadcasts start at $5/mo.
