Social Proof App for Gist
Make every new Gist contact a nudge for the next sign-up
Gist social proof turns the contacts your Gist forms, bots and messenger create into verified sign-up notifications. Visitors reading your lead magnet page see that others grabbed it minutes ago.
Who it's for
Gist social proof for lean teams running chat, forms and email in one place
B2B agencies with lead magnets
Checklists, audits and templates feed your pipeline. Each download creates a Gist contact that can double as proof on the download page.
Bootstrapped software companies
Gist is your messenger, help desk and email tool in one. New trial users and chat leads land there first, so that is where the proof comes from.
Webinar and workshop hosts
Registrations come through a Gist form. Showing them on the registration page tells hesitant visitors the session will not be empty.
Problems we solve
New contacts pile up in Gist while visitors see none of them
The problem
A download page that looks untested
Visitors wonder whether the free guide is worth their work email. A sign-up notification shows each person who just requested it, which answers that before they ask.
The problem
Registrations look thin a week out
People hold off on registering for a webinar until it seems popular. A sign-up counter fed by Gist contacts shows how many have already said yes.
The problem
Chat leads never make it onto the page
Someone who leaves an email in your Gist messenger becomes a contact like any other. The same webhook picks them up, so chat leads show next to form leads.
Gist notifications
Gist sign-up notifications that turn new contacts into proof
Lead magnet downloads, webinar seats, trial sign-ups and an early-bird countdown. Gist's User-Created event powers the sign-ups; the pixel adds the rest.
Downloads & registrations
Each new contact appears with first name and city, worded per page. Pays off on gated content and registration pages.
Trial sign-ups
For software teams that create a Gist user at signup. Pays off on pricing and comparison pages.
Reviews & ratings
Show your best Google and Facebook reviews on pricing and resource pages, where visitors weigh you against others.

FAQ
Social proof app for Gist FAQ
How does Gist connect to WiserNotify?
Two pieces: your Gist API key, pasted into the GetGist integration, and a webhook in Gist's API & Integrations settings that sends each new contact.
Which contact details reach the notification?
A name and location when Gist has them, plus how recently the contact was created.
Which Gist event should I choose?
The User-Created Event. It fires when a new contact is added, which is the moment you want to show as a sign-up.
How are names shown?
However you prefer: first name, “Sarah M.”, initials or simply “Someone”.
Will it slow pages that also load the Gist messenger?
No. The WiserNotify pixel loads once your page is done, so it does not compete with your content.
Can I use WiserNotify for free?
There is a 7-day free trial on every plan, but no free plan. Basic is $59 a year.
