I run a waitlist tool (waitlister.me) and just put together a quick demo showing how it works with Webflow’s native forms. Used the form action POST method so you keep full design control in the Webflow designer.
Honestly curious - how are you all handling waitlists for client projects or product launches? I’ve seen people use Webflow forms → Airtable → Zapier workflows, but that seems like a lot of moving parts.
Are waitlists even a common request for Webflow projects? Or am I solving a problem that doesn’t really exist?
Would love any feedback on the demo or just hear what you’re using!
Direct POST from Webflow forms is a clean setup, way simpler than the Airtable/Zapier stacks I’ve had to unwind on client launches. Demo feels solid; I’d just surface clearer success/error states so people see how it behaves when things fail.
For site launches they’re very uncommon these days, as are “coming soon” pages;
Site builds are much faster with tools like Webflow
Wait lists only relate to the initial launch of a site; site redesigns transfer seamlessly
You might find a niche for product / service launches within a site.
In that case I’d probably drop it in as a code component, pushing to an API that handles everything and shares the captured data to either Airtable ( predefined structure ) or Google Sheets. What you don’t want is Zapier/Make setup and costs and muckery for no reason. Handle that in a simple micro-SaaS if you can.
