How to integrate
Follow these Carrd-specific instructions
Note: Carrd doesn't support custom form actions
Carrd forms can only submit to Carrd's own backend. You cannot point them to external endpoints like Waitlister.
Why the embed method is perfect
The embed method is actually ideal for Carrd:
- Simpler than dealing with forms
- Better design control
- No Carrd form submission limits
- Works on free plan (once you have Pro for custom code)
- Automatic mobile responsiveness
Alternative: Use Carrd forms + Zapier (not recommended)
Technically you could:
- Use Carrd forms to submit to Carrd
- Use Zapier to forward to Waitlister API
But this is complex, requires Zapier, and the embed method is easier.
The embed method is the way
Click the "Embeddable widget" tab above for the simple, recommended setup. You'll be done in minutes.

Quick fixes for Carrd-specific problems
Embed elements require Carrd Pro.
Pro unlocks custom code, embeds, and more features.
Check that you selected "Code" embed type (not "URL"). Verify the script tag and div are both in the code editor.
Click Publish - changes don't appear until published.
Adjust the data-height value in your embed code (try 400px, 450px, or 500px). Also adjust the Embed element's height setting in Carrd.
Preview to find the perfect fit.
Add inline style to the div: style="max-width: 600px; margin: 0 auto;"
Also set Embed element position to "Center" in settings.
Ensure the script tag is in the embed code BEFORE the div. Both must be in the same embed element.
Check browser console for loading errors.
Go to Waitlister dashboard → Form → Editor and customize colors/fonts. Match Carrd's clean, minimal aesthetic.
Use your Carrd template's color scheme.
In Embed element settings, set Style to "Default" or "None". Remove any custom styling that might conflict.
Keep it simple.
Only include the script tag ONCE (in the first embed). Other embeds can just have the div without the script.
Or use one embed for the form.
Both Carrd and Waitlister are mobile-responsive by default. Check that you didn't set fixed widths.
Use max-width instead of width for better mobile behavior.
After connecting custom domain in Carrd, add it to Waitlister's whitelisted domains (Settings → Configure).
Wait for DNS propagation (can take 24-48 hours).
