FAQ

Questions about this timer

Code block or Image block?

Use a Code block and paste the embed code from ClickTimer. Not an Image block: the timer is HTML code, not an image you upload.

Will it work in a Mailchimp Customer Journey?

Yes, for a fixed deadline. For per-person deadlines, use an evergreen timer.
