Why use email countdown timers?
Drives pre-launch anticipation
Start the countdown days before launch to build excitement and pre-orders.
Maximizes day-one revenue
Launch emails with countdowns to closing cart windows consistently outperform plain launch emails.
Works for SaaS, courses, and physical products
Any product with a launch date benefits from a countdown — software, digital products, or physical goods.
Reusable for future launches
Build a launch email template with a timer placeholder. Swap the deadline for each new launch.
How to add a countdown timer to your email

Copy the image URL
Once you configure your timer, you get a unique image URL that generates an animated GIF countdown in real time.
Paste it in your email
Insert the image URL into your email editor just like any other image. Works in any ESP — no code or plugins needed.
Send and track
Hit send. The timer updates live for every recipient, and you can track views and clicks in your dashboard.
Frequently asked questions
Should I count down to the launch or to the cart close?+
Both work. Count down to the launch for anticipation, then switch to a cart-close countdown during the open window.
How many countdown emails should I send during a launch?+
A typical sequence: teaser → launch day → 48h left → 24h left → last-chance. Each can feature a live countdown.
Can I use the same timer across multiple emails in my launch sequence?+
Yes. The timer URL is shareable across emails. The countdown always reflects the real time remaining.
What if I need to extend the launch deadline?+
Create a new timer with the extended deadline and swap the URL in your emails.
Does it work for AppSumo or lifetime deal launches?+
Yes. LTD campaigns with countdown timers consistently outperform those without. The scarcity of a lifetime deal + a visible deadline is a strong conversion combination.
