Countdown timers for Mailchimp.
Add a live countdown to any Mailchimp email in a few minutes. No app to install and no API key.
Add the timer to a Mailchimp email
First make a timer in Inboxclock, save it, and open Embed. Choose Mailchimp and copy the code.
Open your campaign in the email builder.
Drag a Code block (in some builder versions it is called HTML) to where the timer should go.
Paste the embed code from Inboxclock and save the block.
Send a test email to yourself.
Editors change from time to time. If you cannot find a Code block, use an Image block and paste the image URL from Inboxclock instead.
A personal deadline per Mailchimp subscriber
An evergreen timer starts at each subscriber’s first open. Inboxclock tells subscribers apart with a Mailchimp merge tag.
*|UNIQID|* prints the subscriber’s unique ID.
<img src="https://inboxclock.app/t/YOUR-TIMER-ID.gif?r=*|UNIQID|*"
width="600" height="160" alt="Offer ends soon"
style="display:block;width:100%;max-width:600px" />The Embed tab adds the tag when you pick Mailchimp. You can change it there if your account uses another field.
Before you send
- Mailchimp’s preview does not replace merge tags, so evergreen timers show their full length there. The test email shows the real behavior.
