Count-Up Mode
Count up instead of down with all the usual timer perks. Perfect for tracking the time that's passed since a launch, signup, or other milestone event instead of counting down towards a deadline.
Time Since Launch
Show subscribers how long a product, feature, or campaign has been live.
Member Since
Highlight how long a subscriber has been a customer or member as a loyalty touchpoint.
Milestone Tracking
Track elapsed time toward a goal, like days since a fundraiser or challenge began.
Dynamic Links
Add dynamic links to any buttons, images, and hyperlinks throughout the email that automatically point subscribers to different pages depending on whether the timer is still active or has already expired.
Active Offer Page
While the timer is running, links send users straight to the live offer or product page.
Expired Page
Once the timer expires, the same link redirect to a general shop page or an 'offer ended' page instead.
No Broken Promotions
Subscribers never land on a page promoting a deal that's already over.
Fallback & Expiration Options
Choose exactly what happens when a client can't render the live timer, and what happens once the timer expires so a countdown never shows the incorrect time or an expired deal.
Fallback Options
How to handle scenarios when we detect that the email client cannot show the live time remaining.
- Create your own fallback animation with our GIF creator
- Upload your own fallback image or GIF
- Hide the timer
Expiration Options
What users see when the timer expires:
- Upload your own Expiration Image
- Show Expiration Text
- Hide the timer
- Show expired timer
One Timer For Every Language

Multiple Languages, One Timer
Set your labels in your subscriber's own language or create your own custom labels
