If you send emails for limited-time offers, events, or special promotions, adding a countdown timer can help people act faster. Your CRM can now recognize when an email is tied to a deadline and help you place a countdown timer directly into the message while you build or update the email.

📌 Why This Matters

For small business owners, time-sensitive emails often perform better when customers can clearly see how long they have left to take action. Whether you are promoting a flash sale, announcing a product launch, inviting people to a webinar, or reminding them about an offer that ends soon, a countdown timer adds clarity and urgency without extra manual setup.

✨ What’s New

• Smart timer suggestions: The CRM can recognize when your email would benefit from a countdown timer and only suggests one when the message is deadline-based or when you ask for it.
• Use an existing timer: If you already have a timer created, you can select it and add it to your email quickly.
• Create a new timer while building the email: You can set the end date, choose the style, and add the destination link without leaving the email creation flow.
• Automatic placement in the email: Once selected or created, the timer is inserted into the generated email for you.
• Helpful fallback behavior: If you skip the timer prompt or it times out, the email process continues smoothly without interruption.

🛠️ How to Use It

1. Step 1: Start creating or updating an email in your CRM.
2. Step 2: Write a time-sensitive message such as a sale, event reminder, launch announcement, or expiring offer.
3. Step 3: If a countdown timer is relevant, choose an existing timer or create a new one.
4. Step 4: If creating a new timer, enter the end date, select the style, and add the link customers should visit when they click.
5. Step 5: Review the email, confirm the timer appears correctly, and send your campaign.

💡 Pro Tip

Use countdown timers for real deadlines only, because authentic urgency can lead to more clicks, faster buying decisions, and better results from your promotional emails.
