Countdown component showing days, hours, minutes, and seconds

Overview

The Countdown component displays a live countdown timer that counts down to a target date. It is ideal for limited-time promotions, event launches, and flash sales.

Countdown Parameters

Local Timezone

Enable Use user’s local timezone to adjust the countdown end date for each viewer automatically. Without this option, a countdown set to “15 Jan at 18:00 UTC” ends at 19:00 for a user in Paris (UTC+1) and at 03:00 the next morning in Tokyo (UTC+9). With the option enabled, the countdown ends at 18:00 local time for everyone — so both the French and Japanese users see it expire at 6pm in their own timezone.
This is ideal for multi-country campaigns where a promotion must end at the same local time in every country.
Some email clients pre-fetch or cache images. That can freeze the countdown at fetch time. See Email client caching and proxies.

Digit Configuration

Each time unit (Days, Hours, Minutes, Seconds) has independent configuration:

Styling

The countdown inherits text styling from the Text component — font family, size, weight, color, and alignment can all be customized.
