How to Add a Waitlist to Kajabi (Custom Code)

Kajabi is where a lot of creators and course sellers build their home on the internet — pages, email, and products in one place. If you are launching something new, a waitlist is the fastest way to gauge interest before you build the offer.

Kajabi pages support custom code blocks, so you can embed the GetWaitly widget directly. If your theme or plan gives it trouble, the hosted page is a clean fallback.

The short answer

Add a Custom Code block to your Kajabi page, paste the two-line GetWaitly snippet, and publish. The waitlist collects signups in about five minutes, and referrals and broadcast emails are built in.

What you need

• A GetWaitly account with a waitlist created (the free plan covers 100 subscribers).
• A Kajabi page you can edit and publish.

Step 1 — Copy the embed snippet

In your GetWaitly dashboard, create a waitlist and set its headline, accent color, and font. Open Settings → Widget and copy the snippet:

<script src="https://getwaitly.com/widget.js" defer></script>
<div class="gw-widget" data-waitlist-id="YOUR_WAITLIST_ID"></div>

The widget inherits your waitlist's branding, so it matches your Kajabi page.

Step 2 — Add it to Kajabi

1. Open the page in the Kajabi page editor.
2. Add a Custom Code block where the form should appear.
3. Paste both lines from Step 1.
4. Save and publish the page.

Step 3 — Test it

Open the live page and submit a test email. Confirm the subscriber appears in your GetWaitly dashboard.

If the form does not show, check that both lines were pasted and the block has enough width.

The fallback: use the hosted page

If custom code is not available on your plan, publish GetWaitly's hosted page — a complete signup page served by GetWaitly.

1. Publish the hosted page at getwaitly.com/w/your-id.
2. Link a Kajabi button to that URL, or embed it in an iframe.

Why a waitlist before a course

• You validate demand before you build the curriculum.
• You launch to a list instead of an empty room.
• Referrals grow the list while you record.
• Broadcast emails warm the list up before the doors open.

FAQ

Can I add a waitlist to a Kajabi page without coding?

Yes. You paste a snippet into a Custom Code block — no programming. If custom code is unavailable, link to the hosted page.

Why is my Kajabi embed blank?

Usually the <div> or the <script> was missed, or the block has no height. Re-paste both lines and widen the block. If it still fails, use the hosted-page iframe.

Can I email the waitlist from GetWaitly, or should I use Kajabi's email?

Both work. GetWaitly includes broadcast emails from the Starter plan, which is enough for pre-launch updates. Export the list as CSV if you would rather send the launch sequence from Kajabi.

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.
