Steps to Add a Countdown Timer

In your WordPress dashboard, navigate to
Icegram Engage→Campaignsand edit or create a campaign. -
In the campaign settings panel, locate the Countdown Timer section and check Enable Timer.

Set your deadline dates and times:
- Start Date & Time: When the timer starts counting down (defaults to current time if left empty).
- End Date & Time: The final expiration deadline.

-
Insert the timer shortcode into your message:
[ig_countdown_timer]Add this shortcode into the message body or headline wherever you want the animated countdown clock to render.

When the deadline is reached, the countdown clock automatically hits zero and the campaign expires according to your campaign scheduling rules.
