What is Connect Your Website?

Connect Your Website lets you add a GetWaitly signup form to your existing landing page without changing your page's design. The wizard walks you through three steps: enter your URL, detect your form, customize the success toast, and get your embed code.

Before you start

Make sure your page has an email signup form with an email input field. The form can be as simple as a single email input and a button — GetWaitly will detect it automatically.

You'll also need to be able to edit your page's HTML (to add a script tag). Most website builders (Carrd, Webflow, Framer, WordPress) support this.

Step 1: Enter your URL

From your dashboard, open the waitlist you want to connect, then click Website in the sidebar. Enter your landing page URL and click Detect form.

Step 2: Detect and select your form

GetWaitly scans your page and finds all email forms on it. If only one form is found, it's selected automatically. If multiple forms are detected, you can choose which one to connect.

Going back to this step preserves your scanned results — you won't need to re-scan if you change your toast settings.

Step 3: Customize the success toast

When someone signs up through your connected form, they'll see a toast notification instead of being redirected. You can customize:

  • The success message text
  • Background color
  • Text color

The toast keeps visitors on your page while confirming their signup — no redirect, no disruption.

Step 4: Get your embed code

The wizard generates a script tag with your waitlist slug pre-filled. Paste it just before the closing </body> tag on your page.

<script
  src="https://getwaitly.com/widget/connect.js"
  data-slug="your-slug"
  defer
></script>

The script intercepts your existing form submission and sends it to GetWaitly. No CSS conflicts, no layout changes — your page looks exactly the same.

Testing it works

After adding the script to your page, submit your form with a test email. You should see your custom toast notification. Check your dashboard to confirm the signup appeared. If it doesn't work, double-check that your page has an email input field with type="email" or name="email".

Editing or removing a connection

Go back to the Websitetab in your dashboard to edit your toast settings or disconnect the form. Disconnecting won't affect existing subscribers — it just stops new signups from that form.

That's it — your existing page is now collecting signups.
