Durable generates a website in seconds from a short description — no designer, no code. It is one of the fastest ways to get a page live. Adding a waitlist is almost as quick, whether or not your Durable plan allows custom code.

The short answer

If your Durable editor lets you add custom HTML, paste the two-line GetWaitly widget and you are done. If it does not, publish GetWaitly's hosted page and link to it. Either way takes minutes.

Option 1 — Embed the widget (custom code)

  1. Copy the snippet from GetWaitly under Settings → Widget:
<script src="https://getwaitly.com/widget.js" defer></script>
<div class="gw-widget" data-waitlist-id="YOUR_WAITLIST_ID"></div>
  1. Add it to Durable. In the editor, add an HTML or Embed element where the form should appear and paste both lines.
  2. Publish and submit a test email. Confirm the subscriber appears in your GetWaitly dashboard.

The widget inherits your waitlist's accent color and font, so it fits the page without extra styling.

Option 2 — Use the hosted page (no custom code)

If custom code is not available on your plan, publish GetWaitly's hosted page — a complete signup page served by GetWaitly, so Durable has nothing to block.

  1. Publish the hosted page at getwaitly.com/w/your-id.
  2. Link a Durable button to that URL, or embed it in an iframe:
<iframe
  src="https://getwaitly.com/w/YOUR_WAITLIST_ID"
  style="width:100%;height:640px;border:0"
  title="Join the waitlist"
></iframe>

The link option is usually cleaner on mobile.

FAQ

Can I add a waitlist to a Durable site without coding?

Yes. If custom HTML is available, paste one snippet. If not, link to the hosted page — no code at all.

Why is my Durable embed blank?

Usually a missing line or a zero-height element. Re-paste both lines, give the element height, and if it still fails use the hosted-page iframe.

Is it free?

Yes. The free plan includes the widget, a hosted page, analytics, and up to 100 subscribers. Referrals and broadcasts start at $5/mo.
