Cloudflare Pages waitlist form
Add a waitlist form to your Cloudflare Pages landing page with no Worker and no database. One email field, deployed as plain HTML, and signups land in your inbox.
How to build it
- Create a form in your Formpaste dashboard and copy its access key.
- Add the HTML above to your landing page.
- Replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_HERE with your access key, then deploy to Pages.
Cloudflare gotchas
Cloudflare Pages serves your static site, and a Formpaste form is just HTML you deploy with it - no Worker and no backend of your own. Point the form at Formpaste, deploy, and submissions land in your inbox.
No Worker needed
Pages serves static files, so a form that posts to the Formpaste endpoint works with no Worker and no Pages Function. Add the markup to your page and deploy as usual.
Nothing to bind
You do not need a KV namespace, a D1 database, or any binding to collect submissions. The form posts straight to Formpaste, so there is no state to store on your side.
File uploads deploy the same way
A form with a file input posts multipart form data straight to Formpaste, so uploads work on a plain Pages deploy with no extra setup on your side.
Keep the hidden access_key
Leave the generated hidden access_key input in place so Formpaste knows which form the submission belongs to.
What to get right
Show a success state
A waitlist signup should confirm instantly. Track state after the submit resolves and swap the form for a You are on the list message.
Referral position is optional
You can add a referral code field later, but do not block the core signup on it. Keep the first version to email plus name.
Deduplicate on your side
The same person may sign up twice. Treat email as the key when you export or sync the list.
How it works
Three simple steps for form submissions to land in your email inbox.
Create your form, set your form's action URL to Formpaste's endpoint, and add your access key.
