React + Waitlist

Built for React developers who hate operating a backend.

React ships nothing for form delivery — it's a view layer. The historical options are an Express server you stand up just for POST /api/contact, a Vercel serverless function with SMTP wiring, or a third-party library like Formik that still leaves the backend problem unsolved. The waitlist on this page uses useState for submit state and a plain fetch POST to splitforms — no form library, no context provider, no wrapper component. It works in Create React App, Vite, Remix, and every React bundler because it's just standard FormData and the Fetch API.

splitforms as the form backend for React

Waitlist fields

What every field actually does.

The posted payload contains email, name, how did you hear about us?. Required fields are email. Rename, remove, or add your own — splitforms accepts any name you POST.

Email — Reply-to address — splitforms wires this so hitting reply goes back to the sender.
Name — Greeting + dashboard label so submissions don't all read 'anonymous'.
How did you hear about us? — Dropdown — keeps responses normalised so you can filter the dashboard.

Template playbook

The reason this waitlist exists.

Waitlists are the cheapest growth tool a pre-launch product has — Superhuman, Notion, and Linear all built sizable waitlists before paid launch. The form captures email plus a question or two on use case ('what would you use this for?', 'what tools do you use today?') so the launch sequence segments by intent. Multi-step flow boosts completion vs a single form — the prospect commits in step 1 and answers the qualifying questions in step 2-3 with momentum. Push waitlist signups to a dedicated ESP audience (Loops, ConvertKit, Beehiiv) so launch-day emails segment by use case and target the highest-intent signups first.

Step 1: capture email
Step 2-3: qualify use case
Push to ESP segment

Setup

Generate, embed, receive.

Three actions stand between you and your first waitlist submission — no backend, no database, no CAPTCHA library.

Generate a free splitforms key

Paste the waitlist into your React project

Drop the form snippet into a React page, component, or layout. Replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY with the key from your dashboard. The form action is a hard-coded URL — no env vars or build-time wiring needed.

Receive submissions

Dashboard updates live on Free. Free includes owner email delivery; Starter adds signed webhooks, CSV export, Slack/Discord forwarding, and BCC to your team.

Common questions

Waitlist on React — answered.

View all FAQs

Does this waitlist work on React?

Yes. The form is plain HTML with a single POST endpoint, so it runs on any React site without server-side code, plugins, or SDKs. Drop the snippet into a React page or component and submissions land in your splitforms dashboard.

How much does the waitlist cost on React?

Free for 200 submissions total — no credit card, no trial. Pro is $5/mo for 5,000 submissions, and there's a one-time $59 3-year plan (15,000 submissions/mo for 36 months). The same pricing applies regardless of which framework hosts the form.

Can I customize the fields?

Yes. The template ships with sensible defaults (email, name, how did you hear about us?…) — add, remove, or rename any of them. Splitforms accepts whatever fields you POST.

How does spam protection work on the waitlist?

A hidden honeypot field catches dumb bots, and a tuned classifier scores the rest. You only see real submissions in your dashboard. No CAPTCHA, no friction for human users — and it works the same on React as on any other framework.

Can I send the waitlist submissions to Slack or Discord?

Yes. Webhooks are available on paid plans, with auto-formatted payloads for Slack, Discord, and WhatsApp (via CallMeBot). Or send raw signed JSON to any URL — Zapier, n8n, your own server. Configure in the splitforms dashboard.

Will it work on a static React site?

Yes — the form posts directly to splitforms from the browser, so no server is involved. Works on Vercel, Netlify, GitHub Pages, Cloudflare Pages, S3, or any plain Apache host.

Should I show waitlist position / numbers?

Showing 'you're #347 in line' on the confirmation creates social proof but invites comparison. Showing total waitlist size ('join 2,500 people on the waitlist') without per-person position is the safer middle. Refer-a-friend mechanics that move people up the list (Robinhood-style) drive viral growth but require more eng work.

How do I trigger launch invites in waves?

Tag waitlist signups by use case in the ESP audience (Loops, ConvertKit). Launch-day, segment by tag and send invite waves over 48-72 hours. Highest-intent / closest-fit goes first; broadest casts go last. Spreads server load and lets you triage onboarding support.

Can I integrate with Loops / ConvertKit / Beehiiv?

Yes — webhook the JSON. Loops has direct webhook support and is purpose-built for product transactional + waitlist email. ConvertKit and Beehiiv accept via API or Zapier. All three handle the launch-sequence segmentation cleanly.
