Note: Dynamic Timers are only available in the Power and Enterprise plans in the Pro Edition.\u00a0 Sign up for a plan today on our\u00a0home page<\/a>\u00a0or upgrade your existing plan on the\u00a0settings\u00a0page.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Dynamic Timers allow creation of timers programmatically using a variable to represent the end time as a Unix timestamp. This may be useful for, as an example, special offers that should be active for 24 hours after being sent to a user.<\/p>\n\n

To create a Dynamic Timer:<\/h3>\n\n

1. Click “Create New” while on the “Timers” page within the Pro Edition dashboard:
\"\"<\/p>\n\n

2.\u00a0Choose “Dynamic” in the “Timer Type” dropdown:
\"\"<\/p>\n\n

3. Customize your timer in the editor, and when finished, copy the Dynamic Code to include in your HTML email template:
\"\"<\/p>\n\n

4. Replace {UNIX TIMESTAMP} with a valid Unix timestamp in your email template.\u00a0 Most email platforms provide a timestamp variable that you may use to configure your Dynamic Timer end time.\u00a0 \u00a0 Below is an example for the Iterable email platform, however the syntax will be very similar for other platforms.\u00a0\u00a0See our integration guides for more details about how to create a timestamp within your specific platform, or\u00a0contact us<\/a>\u00a0for assistance.<\/p>\n\n

\n

http:\/\/gen.sendtric.com\/countdown\/udwgmiwsty?to={{timestamp}}+86400<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Here {{timestamp}} represents the current time when the email is sent, and 86400 represents an additional 24 hours to that time.\u00a0 Thus, this will create a timer that ends 24 hours after the email is sent.<\/p>\n\n

That’s it!\u00a0 Enjoy your new Dynamic Timer!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
