How to Add Dynamic Timers in Klaviyo

Martin Tenev — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 16:04:52 +0000

Dynamic countdown timers are a powerful way to increase urgency and drive clicks in your email campaigns. If you are using Klaviyo with Sendtric, you may notice that the today variable can reference the wrong timezone, depending on server or account settings.

This guide explains why that happens and shows you two reliable ways to add dynamic timers in Klaviyo.

Why the Timezone Issue Happens

Klaviyo’s today variable may use Klaviyo’s server timezone or incorrectly reference the account user’s timezone. If your account timezone is not set correctly, your countdown timer may display the wrong expiration time.

Before implementing either solution below:

Make sure your Klaviyo account timezone settings are correct.
Confirm your campaign timing aligns with that timezone.

Method 1: Offset the Timezone Manually

This method adds a separate timezone variable and appends it to your timestamp before converting it to Unix format.

Example: 1 Day Countdown

 align=“center”>



{% today “%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S” as dt %}
{% today “%z” as tz %}
 style=“display:block; max-width:100%;“
src=“>REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_TIMER_URL?to={{ dt|days_later:1|append:tz|format_date_string|date:’U’ }}” />

How It Works

dt captures the current date and time.
tz captures the timezone offset.
days_later:1 sets the timer to expire 1 day later.
The date is converted to a Unix timestamp using date:'U'.

This method is ideal if you want a countdown based on a specific number of days.

Method 2: Use the “Now” Variable and Add Seconds

This approach gives you more flexibility. Instead of counting by days, you manually add the exact number of seconds you want the timer to run.

Example: 24 Hour Countdown

{% today “%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z” as now %}
 style=“display:block; max-width:100%;“
src=“REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_TIMER_URL?to={{ now|format_date_string|date:’U’ }}+86400” />

How It Works

now includes the timezone offset automatically.
The value is converted into a Unix timestamp.
+86400 adds 86,400 seconds, which equals 24 hours.

You can replace 86400 with any number of seconds:

3 hours = 10800
48 hours = 172800
7 days = 604800

This method is best if you want precise control over countdown duration.

How to Add Countdown Timers Within SALESmanago

Martin Tenev — Wed, 26 Nov 2025 15:03:13 +0000

In SALESmanago, you can add countdown timers directly from within their email editor – no need to copy any HTML, just drag and drop!

There are detailed instructions on how to do this on their support page, which you can visit here: https://support.salesmanago.com/email-design-studio-widgets-countdown/.

Step 1: Drag and drop the countdown timer option

You can add Sendtric’s countdown timers directly in SALESmanago’s Email Design Studio – it’s super easy!
1. Open the Email Design Studio by selecting to edit or create a new email template.
2. In the left hand menu, go to ‘Widgets’ and open the ‘Conversion’ section
3. Drag and drop the Countdown widget to where you want to place your timer. Click it to open its settings in the left-hand panel

Step 2: Select the Countdown type based on your use case

Once you have added a timer to your email template and clicked it to open the settings on the left hand panel, you will be presented with 3 different timer types.

1. Standard Countdown Timer
The standard timer counts down to a specified end date and will always update to show the correct time remaining whenever a user opens the email.

2. Start-on-open
Using the start-on-open means that the timer starts counting down a specified amount of time (say 24 hours) when the user opens the email.

3. Dynamic
Dynamic timers are unique to each user and start counting down based on a variable event that you can create within SALESmanago.

For more information on the 3 different timers, you can read up more at https://support.salesmanago.com/email-design-studio-widgets-countdown/

Step 3: Edit the appearance of your timer to match your campaign

You can choose the style, font, colours, size and many other options directly within SALESmango’s settings in the left side column. You can also adjust the position, which devices to show the timer and many more options.

Once you are happy with your timer settings, you are ready to go! We recommend sending a test email to yourself to make sure the timer works exactly how you wanted it to!

Today we’re going to walk through how easy it is include an email countdown timer within an Brevo Email campaign. Brevo is a popular email sending and template editing platform that many of our customers use. Adding an email countdown timer to your Brevo email templates is seamless, and a great way to enhance your email campaigns with dynamic content.

Step 1: Create your timer on Sendtric

Whether you are creating a free timer on our home page, or a highly customized timer in one of our paid plans, generating a countdown timer is quick and easy. Simply go through the editor steps and adjusting the style to match your email campaign, and the timer configuration for the function you will be using it for.

Once you have prepared your timer, copy the timer HTML code and head over to Brevo.

Step 2: Insert your timer into your Brevo Template

Open your Brevo Email campaign and select whether you want to use their drag & drop editor or their HTML editor.

Drag & Drop Editor
Select the HTML block and drag it to your email in the location where you want the timer to be. Double click the HTML block inside the email and paste the HTML code provided by Sendtric and then add the ‘dynamic’ tag*. (see below for how to do that)

HTML Editor:
Enter the code provided by Sendtric + add the ‘dynamic tag’* (see below for how to do that) at the location you want your timer to be in.

*Important*
To ensure your timer works correctly in Brevo, add “dynamic” at the end of the img html brackets as follows:

Usual HTML code provided by Sendtric:


Brevo requires to add the 'dynamic' tag as follows:
dynamic/>

If you would like your timer to be centered, here is some additional code to help center the timer for all email clients:







            dynamic/>

Step 3: You are done!

It’s that easy to include a timer from Sendtric in your Brevo campaign. If you are using a paid plan and want to make some tweaks to your timer design after seeing it in the template (maybe that color choice wasn’t quite right!) You can easily return to the Sendtric Editor and edit anything about the timer that you wish. You do not need re-copy the timer code, so long as you make sure you edit the same timer that you included in your template.

We’d love to hear about your experience using our timers on Brevo too! Feel free to reach out to us at support@sendtric.com with any concerns, questions, or feedback you may have.
