Waitlist
Configure Waitlist
After creating your waitlist, you can customize various settings to match your needs. This guide explains each configuration option available in Waitlister.
Open Configuration
First, to open your waitlist configuration, navigate to the "Overview" page in your waitlist dashboard and click the "Configure" button.
Logo Settings
Your logo appears on the thank-you page after someone joins your waitlist. This helps maintain brand consistency throughout the signup process.
To manage your logo:
- Click "Upload Logo" to select an image file
- Click "Update logo" to save your changes
- Use "Remove logo" to delete the current logo
Referral Program
The referral program encourages subscribers to share your waitlist with others. When enabled, subscribers can move up the waitlist by referring others.
When enabled:
- Subscribers receive a unique referral link after signing up
- The thank-you page shows sharing options and explains the referral benefits

Email Validation
Email validation helps prevent spam and fake submissions by checking email addresses before allowing sign-ups.
When enabled:

Form Embed URL
If you're using the embeddable form on your website, you can specify its URL here. This ensures:
- Accurate tracking of form views
- Proper redirect handling for referral links
- Consistent analytics data
Tips for setting the embed URL:
- Use the full URL including 'https://'
- If left blank, it will be set automatically based on found origin URL
- Update this if you move the form to a different page
Reset Waitlist
The reset feature allows you to clear your waitlist data, for example, after initial testing. You can choose to reset:
