⚡Zapier
Connect GetWaitly to 5,000+ apps via webhooks. Forward new signups to Slack, Google Sheets, Mailchimp, Discord, and more — no code required.
Step 1: Get your webhook URL
- Open your waitlist's Integrations page from the dashboard sidebar, then the Webhooks card.
- In Zapier (next step) you'll get a URL like
https://hooks.zapier.com/...— paste it into the Webhook URL field. - Click Send test to confirm it works, then Save webhook.
Step 2: Create a Zap
- Go to Zapier and click Create Zap.
- Choose Webhooks by Zapier as the trigger app.
- Select Catch Hook as the event.
- Copy the webhook URL Zapier gives you and paste it into your GetWaitly webhook settings.
- Add an action: Slack, Google Sheets, Mailchimp, Discord, etc.
Step 3: Test & turn on
Sign up on your waitlist to trigger a test event. Zapier receives the payload so you can map the fields in your action step. Turn on your Zap when it looks good.
Webhook payload
{
"event": "signup.new",
"email": "visitor@example.com",
"name": "Alex",
"referralCode": "abc123defg",
"position": 42,
"referredById": null,
"timestamp": "2026-08-06T12:00:00.000Z"
}Events: signup.new (single opt-in), signup.confirmed (double opt-in), referral.new (when someone refers a friend).
Delivery & retries
Deliveries are queued and retried automatically: 429 and 5xx (or a timeout) are retried up to 3 times, 30 seconds apart; other 4xx responses are treated as permanent. The last 20 attempts are shown on the Integrations page.
Verifying the signature
When you set a webhook secret, every request includes X-GetWaitly-Timestamp and X-GetWaitly-Signature-256 — an HMAC-SHA256 of timestamp.body. Verify it before trusting the payload:
const timestamp = req.headers["x-getwaitly-timestamp"];
const signature = req.headers["x-getwaitly-signature-256"];
const expected = crypto
.createHmac("sha256", secret)
.update(`${timestamp}.${rawBody}`)
.digest("hex");
if (expected !== signature) return res.status(401).end();
