Quickstart

Here is how to create a waitlist and launch it in under 5 minutes.

1. Create your account

Go to getwaitly.com/signup and create a free account. No credit card required. Check your inbox for a verification link, then sign in.

2. Create a waitlist

After signing in, click "Create waitlist" and give it a name. The overview then shows the three ways to start collecting signups: embed the widget, publish a hosted page, or use the API.

3. Put a signup form on your site

Two no-code ways to start collecting signups, in under 5 minutes:

• Embed a widget — copy a snippet and paste it on your Carrd, Webflow, Framer, or custom site. Choose an inline or popup style and match your branding.
• Publish a hosted page — customize the form, branding, and success message, then share the page URL. No code or website required.

Both are managed from the Widget and Hosted Page sections of your dashboard.

4. Share your waitlist

Share your website or your embed snippet anywhere:

• Social media (Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Reddit)
• Your personal website or portfolio
• Online communities and forums
• Email signature or newsletter

5. Track signups

Your dashboard shows total visitors, signups, conversion rate, and a 30-day trend chart. On Starter and above, every subscriber gets a unique referral link that moves them up the list when shared — turning your earliest users into your best marketers.

That's it — you're live in under 5 minutes. When you're ready for more, explore managing your waitlist, early-access invites, or upgrade your plan.
