Creating your first Waitlist

  1. Once you're in your dashboard, click "Create a new waitlist" Waitlist dashboard

  2. 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. Waitlist dashboard: create a new waitlist
