Tuemilio platform help — early-access waitlist and pre-launch validation tool with a built-in viral referral loop, leaderboards, white-labeled subscriber dashboards, and email marketing (tuemilio.com). Use when embedding the Tuemilio waitlist with referral position tracking on a landing page or React/Next.js app via the JavaScript SDK, hitting the 'never use the REST API on your frontend' warning, building a server-side REST integration (base tuemilio.com/api/v1, ?api_token= query auth) to create/list/update/delete subscriber emails or add referral points, handling the new-subscriber / grant-access / confirmed-subscriber webhooks into a CRM or Slack, syncing subscribers to Mailchimp or Zapier, granting early access in batches at launch, fighting referral fraud (anti_points, blocked, fraud_id), or choosing between the Founder, Startup, and Enterprise plans. Do NOT use for list-growth strategy across platforms (use /sales-audience-growth) or the launch email campaign itself (use /sales-email-marketing).
If references/learnings.md exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge.
What are you trying to do?
A) Embed the waitlist + referral widget on a site or React/Next.js app (JavaScript SDK)
B) Build a server-side integration via the REST API (list/create/update/delete emails, add points)
C) Handle webhooks — new-subscriber / grant-access / confirmed-subscriber into a CRM, Slack, or warehouse
D) Wire up Zapier / Mailchimp / Typeform / Google Analytics
E) Run the referral loop — points, leaderboard, position tracking, custom dashboards
F) Launch — grant early access in batches and trigger downstream automation
G) Fight referral fraud — points vs anti_points, blocked, fraud_id
H) Pick a tier — Founder $29 vs Startup $49 vs Enterprise
Where will the form live? Hosted page / a no-code builder / a React/Next.js app — drives the JS SDK install path.
Where do subscribers need to end up? Stay in Tuemilio / Mailchimp / a CRM / your warehouse — drives webhook vs REST API vs Zapier.
Skip-ahead rule: if the user's prompt already contains enough context, skip to Step 2.
Step 2 — Route or answer directly
If the question is about...
Route to...
General audience/list-growth strategy across platforms
/sales-audience-growth [question]
A waitlist with built-in email broadcasts + HMAC-signed webhooks
/sales-waitlister [question]
A developer waitlist with an unauthenticated signup API + censored leaderboard
/sales-getwaitlist [question]
A cheap no-code referral waitlist with an npm SDK
/sales-referlist [question]
Waitlists + giveaways/contests with fraud webhooks
/sales-kickofflabs [question]
The launch/nurture email campaign strategy itself
/sales-email-marketing [question]
When routing, give the exact command, e.g.: "This is a list-growth-strategy question — run: /sales-audience-growth [your question]."
If the question is Tuemilio-specific, continue to Step 3.
Step 3 — Tuemilio platform reference
Read references/platform-guide.md for the full reference — capabilities tagged by automation surface, pricing and plan gates, the Wait List / Email / Dashboard data model, quick-start recipes (Next.js JS SDK with referral attribution; webhook→CRM handler; server-side REST sync + batch access grant), integration patterns, and a fit comparison vs Waitlister / GetWaitlist / Referlist / LaunchList.
Read references/tuemilio-api-reference.md for the verbatim API — REST base https://tuemilio.com/api/v1 with ?api_token= query auth (Emails: list/get/create/update/delete/add-points; Wait Lists: list/get), the JavaScript SDK (Tuemilio('init'|'createSubscriber'|'getDashboard'|…), config object, event listeners), and the three webhook events with their X-Tuemilio-Event header and payload schema.
Answer the user's question using only the relevant section. Don't dump the full reference.
Step 4 — Actionable guidance
Focus on the user's specific situation:
Frontend = JS SDK, backend = REST API. The docs are explicit: never call the REST API from the browser — the api_token is a secret. Use the JS SDK (createSubscriber, getDashboard, event listeners) client-side; reserve REST for your server.
api_token rides in the query string, not a header — keep it out of client code, logs, analytics, and Referer headers; rotate it if it leaks.
Referral attribution is explicit. Pass referralId to createSubscriber (JS) or referral_id/referrer_id to POST /emails (REST) — capture it from the inbound ?r= link. Omit it and the referrer earns no points and doesn't move up.
add-points is additive; PUT /emails sets points absolutely. Pick the right one for rewards vs corrections.
Webhooks are unsigned. Use an unguessable URL, switch on X-Tuemilio-Event, validate User-Agent: Tuemilio-Hookshot/1.0, and dedupe on subscriber id.
Launch via grant-access. Grant early access in batches (configurable frequency/size); the grant-access webhook is your hook for provisioning + a "you're in" email.
Fraud signals:anti_points, blocked, and fraud_id are how Tuemilio flags gaming — gate rewards on clean records.
If you discover a gotcha, workaround, or tip not covered in references/learnings.md, append it there.
Gotchas
Best-effort from research (2026-06) — review these, especially plan-gated features and pricing that may shift.
Never use the REST API on the frontend (documented warning) — the api_token query param is a secret. Client-side work goes through the JS SDK; REST is server-only.
api_token is a query parameter, not a header — it can leak via logs, browser history, and Referer. Treat the URL as sensitive and rotate on exposure.
Webhooks have no documented signing or retries. Identify via X-Tuemilio-Event, validate the Tuemilio-Hookshot/1.0 user-agent, use a secret URL, and make handlers idempotent on id.
Next.js / SSR: the loader touches window — initialize inside a useEffect with a typeof window !== 'undefined' guard, and use the Widget List UUID (not the numeric list ID) in the snippet.
add-points vs PUT differ:add-points increments (5 + 2 = 7); PUT /emails with points overwrites. Using the wrong one silently corrupts leaderboard standings.
Referral code must be forwarded — referralId (JS) / referral_id or referrer_id (REST), parsed from ?r=. Missing it = no referral credit.
confirmed-subscriber only fires if confirmation emails are enabled — if you gate access on it without that automation on, the event never arrives.
Pricing is best-effort. Current public tiers are Founder $29 / Startup $49 / Enterprise (custom), API+webhooks on all tiers, 30-day free trial. Tuemilio previously offered a free tier — verify the live pricing page before quoting.

Examples
Example 1: Embed the waitlist with referral tracking in Next.js (developer)
User says: "I'm adding Tuemilio to my Next.js landing page. How do I show the signup + referral position, and make sure referrals actually credit the referrer?"
Skill does: Walks through the JS SDK loader inside a useEffect with a typeof window guard (Recipe 1), using the Widget List UUID and the t-signup div. For attribution, captures the inbound ?r= value and passes it to Tuemilio('createSubscriber', { address, referralId }), and uses onSubscriberCreated / onDashboardData to render position + leaderboard. Stresses not to call the REST API from the browser.
Result: Working client-side widget with referral attribution and a live position dashboard.
Example 2: Sync new subscribers into a CRM via webhook (developer/automation)
User says: "Every new Tuemilio subscriber should create a contact in HubSpot and ping Slack. What's the cleanest way?"
Skill does: Recommends the new-subscriber webhook (no-code path: Zapier New Subscriber trigger; coded path: your endpoint). Shows the handler from references/platform-guide.md Recipe 2 — switch on X-Tuemilio-Event, validate User-Agent: Tuemilio-Hookshot/1.0 and a secret URL (no HMAC exists), dedupe on id, map address/position/referral_id into HubSpot, then post to Slack. Notes the grant-access event for launch day.
Result: New signups flow to HubSpot + Slack idempotently, with a launch-day path ready.
Example 3: Tier choice + getting subscribers into Mailchimp
User says: "Which Tuemilio plan do I need, and how do I keep Mailchimp in sync with my waitlist?"
Skill does: Notes API, webhooks, custom domains, and unbranded forms are on all tiers, so Founder ($29) covers most solo launches; Startup ($49) adds teams + priority support. For Mailchimp, points to the native auto-sync integration, or a new-subscriber webhook / REST GET /lists/{id}/emails pull for custom field mapping. Hands the launch campaign itself to /sales-email-marketing.
Result: User picks Founder and has Tuemilio→Mailchimp sync running.
Symptom: Friends sign up through a referral link but the referrer's points and position don't change.
Cause: The referral code isn't being forwarded — the JS createSubscriber call omits referralId, or the REST POST /emails omits referral_id/referrer_id, so there's nothing to attribute.
Solution: Capture the inbound ?r= value from the visitor's URL and pass it (referralId in the SDK, referral_id or referrer_id in REST). Confirm in the dashboard that the referrer's points increment; use add-points only for manual bonuses (it's additive).
"Is it safe that my API token is in the URL / can I call the API from the browser?"
Symptom: You're tempted to call tuemilio.com/api/v1/...?api_token=... from frontend JavaScript.
Cause: The REST API authenticates with a secret api_token query param and is not meant for the browser.
Solution: Use the JavaScript SDK client-side (createSubscriber, getDashboard, events). Keep the REST API and token strictly server-side, out of logs and Referer headers; rotate the token at /profile#api-token if it was ever exposed.
Webhook isn't firing or I can't verify it's really Tuemilio
Symptom: Your endpoint gets nothing, or you can't tell which event arrived / whether it's authentic.
Cause: Either the event isn't subscribed (confirmed-subscriber needs confirmation emails enabled), or you're looking for a signature that doesn't exist.
Solution: Subscribe to the right event (new-subscriber / grant-access / confirmed-subscriber), read the X-Tuemilio-Event header to branch, and since there's no HMAC, authenticate with a secret URL + the Tuemilio-Hookshot/1.0 user-agent and dedupe on id. Test with a real signup and reconcile against GET /lists/{id}/emails.
