Open Configuration

First, to open your waitlist configuration, navigate to the "Overview" page in your waitlist dashboard and click the "Configure" button.

1. Click "Upload Logo" to select an image file
2. Click "Update logo" to save your changes
3. 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 can move up the waitlist by referring others

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

When enabled:

• Invalid email addresses are blocked before submission

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:

• Views count
• Subscriber list
• Or both
