Adding a countdown timer in Constant Contact

Add a countdown timer using a Drag and Drop Editor

Step 1: Create Your Countdown Timer on CountdownMail

• Visit the CountdownMail website and sign up or log in to your account.
• Click on “Create Timer” to start designing your countdown timer.
• Set the end date and time for your countdown. This is the moment when the timer will reach zero.
• Customize the appearance of your timer to match your email’s branding. You can adjust options like font style, size, background color, and text color.
• Once your timer looks perfect, find the “Embed code” section for your timer.
• Locate the URL of the timer image within the embed code. This URL typically starts with https and ends with .gif.
• Copy this image URL to your clipboard. Note: Ensure you copy only the image URL, not the entire embed code, as Gmail will use this URL to insert the image.

Step 2: Adding a countdown timer into the template.

• Choose an image block or add a new image block in your email layout and select the Edit button
• Then click the Image URL tab to paste in your image URL. Click Preview to edit your image.
