How to Create a Recurring Timer

Recurring timers are a handy way to promote events, sales, or activities that happen on a regular basis. This type resets after each cycle, giving you an ongoing reminder.

Creating a Recurring Timer

Navigate to the Countdown Timers tab inside the marketing section and click the + New button.

Choose a design template, then click Continue with this template.

General

Select the Recurring Timer Type.

Define the timer start date (1), number of loops (2), and countdown duration (3).

Add a wait time if your timer will have periods of rest between countdowns, for example, 15 days between offers.

📌Note: You can optionally use the Hide option to automatically hide the countdown timer element in funnels while in the wait period.

Select the time zone the counter will use for its starting time.

Add the Active Link where users will be redirected while the timer is active, and the Expired Link once the timer runs out.

Styling

Select the Styling section to adjust the timer's appearance.

This includes:

1. 1
   Adjusting the template used for the timer.
2. 2
   Choosing which timer labels (seconds, minutes, hours, days) to display.

1. 1
   Editing the font styles used in the timer.
2. 2
   Adjusting the corner radius of the timer.

1. 1
   Editing the colours used in the timer.
2. 2
   Replace the timer with a chosen image in your emails when it expires.

1. Adjusting Margin and Padding settings for the timer.

📌Note: You can disable the Padding option if you prefer not to customise the margin and padding.

1. For contacts using Apple Mail on iOS 15 and later, countdown timers are sometimes pre-cached, resulting in inaccurate countdown displays when the email is opened. Disable this feature for Apple Mail users by checking the box.

Give your timer a name for identification, then click "Save" to finalise and activate the countdown timer.

You can now add this element to your Emails, Websites, and Funnels, or click the Copy Code button to copy the custom code and embed it on external sites. It's a straightforward way to give customers a visual cue for recurring events such as classes or webinars.
