Position Inflation

Offset public-facing positions and subscriber counts to account for existing sign-ups from other sources.

If you already have sign-ups from another platform, a previous campaign, or an email list, your Waitlister positions no longer have to start from #1. Position inflation lets you offset all public-facing numbers so they reflect the full picture.

What's Included

  • Global offset — Set a single number that gets added to all subscriber-facing positions and counts
  • Instant and retroactive — Change the value anytime, all subscribers see updated positions immediately
  • Internal data stays real — Your dashboard, subscriber table, exports, and analytics are never affected

Where It Applies

The offset is applied across all subscriber-facing surfaces.

  • Thank-you page position and leaderboard
  • Social proof components on landing pages and forms
  • Welcome and broadcast email template variables
  • API responses (as a separate inflated_position field)
  • Webhook payloads (as a separate inflated_position field)

How to Set Up

  1. Go to your waitlist's Settings page
  2. Find the Position inflation section
  3. Enter your offset (e.g. 500 if you have 500 existing sign-ups elsewhere)
  4. Click Update

That's it. Set to 0 at any time to remove the offset.

See the Position Inflation documentation for full details.
