# Waitlist

> Comprehensive documentation for the KilatKoding waitlist feature, including pre-launch use cases, Supabase dependencies, and funnel verification.

<Info>
  The waitlist feature is most useful when you do not want to open the full application yet, but you do want to start validating demand and collecting interested users.
</Info>

## What this feature includes

* `/waitlist`
* `POST /api/waitlist`
* waitlist signup storage

## Related routes and endpoints

| -------------------- | ------------ | --------------------------------- |
| `/waitlist`          | Public page  | Waitlist form for potential users |
| `POST /api/waitlist` | API mutation | Stores the waitlist signup        |

## Who uses it

## Main dependencies

| Item                                   | Required? | Notes                                 |
| -------------------------------------- | --------- | ------------------------------------- |
| `NEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_WAITLIST=true`     | Yes       | Enables the waitlist page and API     |

| `NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY` | Yes       | Needed for the relevant client access |
| Waitlist table migration               | Yes       | The table must exist and be ready     |

## What teams usually customize

* waitlist CTA,
* demand-validation copy,
* pre-launch value proposition,
* success and duplicate-submission messages,
* the relationship between the landing page and the waitlist funnel.

## When this feature is disabled

It is usually disabled when:

* the product is fully open,
* the main funnel shifts to signup or checkout,
* waitlist no longer matches the product positioning.

## Verification checklist

1. `/waitlist` can be opened.
2. A new email can be submitted successfully.
3. A duplicate email shows a clear response.
4. Public CTA paths point to the waitlist when it is the intended funnel.
5. There are no dashboard or billing CTA paths if the product is still only in waitlist mode.

<Tip>
  If you use waitlist as the launch strategy, continue to [Launch checklists](/en/kilatkoding/launch-checklists) and [Preset recipes by use case](/en/kilatkoding/preset-recipes).
