How to create and display a waiting list queue number?

[edstennett]

I'm launching a product that has a waiting list. Everyone that joins gets added to an active list, and we have a few workflows in place to send automated emails and internal slack messages, as well as service tickets and deals.

Upon submission, I'd like to show a thank you page with that says 'Thank you for your submission, you are number 'n' in the queue. I'd be displaying a contact property called Wait List Queue position that (I guess) would be some form of calculation property that took into account the list or a used the form submission in some way. Just can't seem to work out how.

I might be overthinking it, I just need each contact in the waiting list list to have a property that's a number corresponding to the order in which they joined. So the first person that join would be 1, the second 2, and the nth, n.

Has anyone done this before, or has any ideas of how I could do this?

Hi @edstennett 

I've not seen this sort of thing done within HubSpot's walls before. I think you are looking at an external solution, for example a custom API development. 

However, I think you might be able to do this using the increment value function of Zapier Storage. I was having a play and basically got it working but the value started at 4, having incremented during testing I think, so it needs a bit of work:

Hope this helps.
