Add Countdown Timers to Campaigns in Icegram Engage

Pro

Create urgent countdown timers inside popups and header bars to drive limited-time sales, flash discounts, and event signups.

Adding a real-time countdown timer creates urgency, motivating visitors to act before a flash sale, seasonal coupon, or webinar registration window closes.

Steps to Add a Countdown Timer

  1. In your WordPress dashboard, navigate to Icegram Engage → Campaigns and edit or create a campaign.

  2. In the campaign settings panel, locate the Countdown Timer section and check Enable Timer.

  3. 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.

    Configure countdown timer deadline in Icegram Engage campaign rules

  4. 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.

  5. Under the message’s Styling options, choose your preferred timer theme and color scheme to complement your design.

  6. Save or publish your campaign.

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