How to add a waitlist to Wix

Wix gives you three ways to add LaunchList. Pick by what your Wix plan allows.

Wix Bookings and Wix Events have waitlists of their own, for full classes and full events. They do a different job from a pre-launch waitlist.

Add the form with an Embed HTML element#

Wix's Embed HTML element takes your snippet as code. Wix says the element is an iframe: it loads only HTTPS content, it has the fixed size you give it, and it does not adjust itself for mobile.

1. In LaunchList, open Embed & API → Your website, choose Wix under What is your site built with?, pick your form if you have more than one, and copy the Inline snippet it shows.
2. In the Wix Editor, click Add Elements (+), choose Embed Code, then Popular Embeds, and pick Embed HTML.
3. Click the element on the page, click Enter Code, and paste the snippet under Add your code here.

<!-- frm_8Kd2Qm4Rp9 is an example ID; use your own from Embed & API → Your website -->
<div data-launchlist-form="frm_8Kd2Qm4Rp9"></div>
<script src="https://embed.getlaunchlist.com/v1/embed.js" async></script>

4. Click Apply.
5. Drag the element's handles until the whole form fits, with room below it for error lines and the success message. Anything taller than the box scrolls inside it.
6. Switch to the mobile view in the editor and size the element there too.
7. Publish, open the live site, and submit a test signup. It appears in Audience within a second.

These are the labels in the classic Wix Editor. Wix Studio and the newer Wix editor name the same element differently (an Embed code element in the Embed category of the Add panel); the steps after that are the same.

Choose what happens after signup#

This is set on the form in LaunchList, not in Wix. Because the form sits in an iframe, the Status page or a Link would open inside the small Embed HTML box. In the form editor, set After signup to Message instead, which replaces the form inside the box. Make the box tall enough for it.

What the iframe changes#

• Referral codes. The form inside the iframe cannot read your Wix page's address, so a ?ref= code on a link to your Wix page is not seen and the referrer is not credited. If your signups share links to your Wix page, collect signups with the Custom Code popup, or send referral links to your hosted page.
• Popups. A popup opened from inside an Embed HTML element covers only that element, not the page.
• Styling. The form takes the design you pick in the LaunchList form editor, under Design. Wix's theme does not reach it.

Site-wide with Custom Code#

Wix's Custom Code setting puts the LaunchList script on the real page, not in an iframe. Wix requires a published site with a connected domain, and connecting a domain takes a Premium plan.

Wix gives you no way to place a <div> at a chosen spot on the page through Custom Code, so this method is for a popup that opens on its own: after a few seconds, after the visitor scrolls, or when they move to leave the page.

1. In your Wix dashboard, go to Settings, then Custom Code in the Advanced section.
2. Click + Add Custom Code, give it a name, and paste:

<script src="https://embed.getlaunchlist.com/v1/embed.js" async></script>
<div
    hidden
    data-launchlist-popup="frm_8Kd2Qm4Rp9"
    data-trigger="time"
    data-delay="8"
></div>

3. Under Add Code to Pages, choose All pages, or only the pages that should show it.
4. Under Place Code in, choose Body - end.
5. Click Apply, then open the live site and wait for the popup.

data-trigger takes time (with data-delay in seconds, 5 if you leave it out), scroll (with data-scroll as a percentage of the page, 50 if you leave it out) or exit (the pointer leaving the top of the window, on desktop only). A visitor sees it at most once every 7 days, or every data-cap days if you set it, and never again after they sign up.

Because the script runs on the real page, it reads a ?ref= code from the address, so a signup through this popup credits the referrer. A signup through an Embed HTML form does not: that form runs in its own iframe and cannot read what this script stored.

Link to your hosted page#

Every LaunchList project has a hosted launch page at a public address. A Wix button that links to it needs no code.

1. In LaunchList, open your launch page and click Publish. The publish panel shows the page's address; copy it.
2. In the Wix Editor, select a button or a piece of text, and click Link.
3. Choose Web Address, paste the address, and save.
4. Publish your Wix site and click the button to check it.

Referral codes, the status page and every success setting work there as they do on any page LaunchList hosts.

If something is not working#

Using the classic LaunchList dashboard#

A waitlist made in the classic LaunchList dashboard has its own snippet: a Wix form that sends to getlaunchlist.com/s/ with its form key. That snippet keeps working for now and sends signups to the classic dashboard's waitlist, not to a project here. A classic form key does not work with the snippet on this page.

To bring that waitlist here, import it into a project, then replace the classic snippet on your Wix site with the one from Embed & API → Your website. Your signups are copied, and the classic waitlist is not changed.
