Countdown Timer Email Embed Logic

  1. Once a countdown timer is created and activated, you can use the embed feature to embed the HTML code to your email client.

  2. The countdown timer generated will be in real-time. Whenever the recipient opens the email, the timer counting down will be the same as the one in your store.

  3. You do not need to worry about the timezone as the recipient will see how much time is left based on the end date and time that you had selected based on your store's timezone.

  4. If the countdown timer will loop after counting down for 60 seconds. However, once the recipient refreshes or reopen the email, the countdown timer will be refreshed.
