Framer is incredible for design. Smooth animations. Beautiful typography. Perfect responsive layouts.
But a beautiful site that doesn't convert is a gallery, not a business.
If you're using Framer to showcase a product launch, you need a waitlist. Not a promise to build one later—a live, working waitlist today.
The good news: Framer supports custom embeds natively. You can have a fully functional referral waitlist on your Framer site in under 5 minutes.
Why Framer Needs a Waitlist
Framer sites drive traffic. But traffic without capture is wasted potential. A waitlist:
- Turns window-shoppers into subscribers
- Enables referral growth (viral loop built in)
- Provides social proof (live participant counter shows momentum)
- Measures demand before you ship anything
Your Framer site's traffic matters less than what you do with it. A waitlist converts that traffic into email.
Step-by-Step: Add Waitlist to Framer
1. Create Your Waitlist
Go to Spynra Launch and sign up. Create a new waitlist:
- Name it (e.g., "My Product Launch")
- Click Create
- You'll see your Waitlist ID
2. Get Your Embed Code
In your Spynra dashboard:
- Go to Settings → Embed & Share
- Copy the embed script (it's one <script> tag with your waitlist ID)
3. Add to Framer
In your Framer project:
- Add a Code Embed component (from the Insert menu)
- Paste your embed code
- The waitlist appears instantly in preview and live
4. Customize Appearance (Optional)
Framer lets you wrap the embed in a container and style it with CSS. But the default looks great on any site.
5. Publish and Share
Click Publish in Framer. Your waitlist is now live. Share the link.

7 Mistakes Framer Builders Make
1. No Waitlist Until "Launch Day"
Launch day comes and goes. You should have 500+ emails before you launch. Start collecting now.
2. Hiding the Embed Below the Fold
Your waitlist should be the hero. Put it in a prominent section. Use an eye-catching color that contrasts with your design.
3. Embedding Without Referral Incentives
A simple signup is boring. Referral rewards turn subscribers into evangelists. Enable referral mode in Spynra and set a reward: free month, early access, credits, whatever.
4. Not Using Framer's Animation Potential
Framer is all about motion. Animate the waitlist entrance or success state. Small animations increase perceived quality.
5. Forgetting to Test on Mobile
Half your visitors are on mobile. Make sure the embed doesn't break and the button is easy to tap.
6. Not Following Up
Emails sitting in your list are worthless. Send weekly updates (product progress, sneak peeks, behind-the-scenes). Keep momentum.
7. Ignoring Your Analytics
Your Spynra dashboard shows conversion rate, referral activity, and subscriber growth. Use this data to optimize. Low conversion? Try different copy. Low referral rate? Increase the reward.
Optimization: Beyond the Basic Embed
- Add a leaderboard showing top referrers (drives friendly competition)
- Create an exit-intent popup to catch bouncing visitors
- Share your waitlist link everywhere (Twitter, Product Hunt, Reddit, SaaS communities)
- Update subscribers weekly with progress updates
FAQ: Framer + Spynra Waitlist
Q: Does the embed match my Framer design?
A: Yes. You can customize colors, fonts, and spacing via CSS wrapper or use the default design. Fully flexible.
Q: Can I use this with Framer's form component?
A: You could, but Spynra's embed is better because it has built-in referral rewards and analytics. Simpler to use one embed.
Q: What happens if I change my waitlist settings later?
A: Changes sync instantly on your live site. No need to re-embed or republish.
