Zoho Campaigns is the email marketing arm of the Zoho ecosystem — used by millions of businesses worldwide, especially those already running Zoho CRM, Zoho Desk, and other Zoho products. If you’re managing customer communications through Zoho and running time-sensitive promotions, a countdown timer adds the visual urgency that text-only deadlines can’t match.
This guide shows you how to embed a Tickvio timer in Zoho Campaigns emails.
A free Tickvio account and a Zoho Campaigns account.
Log in to Tickvio, create a timer, choose your type (fixed date, evergreen, or recurring), customise the design, set your expiry state, and copy the HTML embed code.
In Zoho Campaigns, create a new campaign or edit an existing one. Open the email in the drag-and-drop editor.
In the content panel, find the HTML component (or "Custom HTML"). Drag it into your email template where you want the timer.
Click the HTML component, paste the Tickvio embed code, and save. The timer renders as a live animated countdown.
Preview on desktop and mobile. Send a test email. Check our inbox support guide for rendering details.
The power of Zoho Campaigns is its native integration with Zoho CRM. This creates unique timer opportunities:
Deal-stage triggers: When a deal moves to a specific stage in Zoho CRM, trigger a Zoho Campaigns email with a timer. "Your custom quote expires in 72 hours" with an evergreen countdown.
Renewal reminders: CRM-driven renewal reminders with countdown timers showing the exact renewal deadline.
Webinar/event promotion: Fixed-date timer counting down to event start. Zoho’s ecosystem includes Zoho Meeting for webinars — coordinate email invitations with countdown urgency.
Lead nurturing: Add evergreen timers to lead nurture sequences: "Download our whitepaper — exclusive access expires in 48 hours" to accelerate MQL conversion.
Zoho ecosystem advantage: If you’re already in the Zoho ecosystem, timer campaigns can be triggered by events across Zoho CRM, Zoho Desk, and Zoho Commerce — creating urgency tied to real business events.
Budget-friendly stack: Zoho Campaigns starts at $4/month. Paired with Tickvio’s free plan (20,000 views/month), this is one of the most affordable marketing-plus-urgency setups available.
Merge tags: Zoho Campaigns supports merge tags for personalisation. Use them alongside Tickvio timers to create emails that are both personalised and urgent.
