Creating your first Waitlist
-
Once you're in your dashboard, click "Create a new waitlist"
-
Add in basic waitlist settings:
- Waitlist name: The name of your waitlist. This is for your internal reference.
- Waitlist URL: This is the where your waitlist will be placed (for example
https://getwaitlist.com/demo
for this waitlist). It's important that it's correct as we use it to generate referral links. - Spots Skipped on Referral: If you set this as
5
, a user will move up 5 spots if they successfully refer a friend. - Email New Signups: Whether or not you want us (getwaitlist.com) to email new signups that sign up on your waitlist with their referral link and current position.
- Verify Signups by Email: If you turn this on, we'll send new users who sign up an email where they have to click a link to verify themselves before they can move up on the waitlist.
