Add Live Countdown Timers to Campaign Monitor Emails
Embed a Tickvio timer in any Campaign Monitor campaign or journey using custom HTML. No integration setup. Live countdown on every open.
Get Started For FreeCampaign Monitor's email builder supports custom HTML insertion — through the Source editor or a custom code section. This is all Tickvio needs to embed a live countdown timer.
Campaign Monitor users often manage email for multiple clients through the platform's agency-friendly architecture. Tickvio timers work across all client accounts without any account-level integration.
Tickvio works the same way with other email platforms. See how it integrates with Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, HubSpot, and Emma. Ready to get started? Set up your first timer or see a live demo.
How to Add a Tickvio Timer
Build a Timer for Your Campaign
Open Tickvio and create a new countdown timer. Set the deadline date, time, and timezone. Choose a timer design — Filled Boxes, Flip Clock, or Pill — and customise colours to match your Campaign Monitor template or client's brand guidelines. For campaigns with a fixed sale deadline, select fixed-date. For Journey emails where each subscriber enters at a different time, select evergreen. Copy the embed code.
Add the Code in Campaign Monitor's Email Builder
In Campaign Monitor's email builder, switch to the Source view or add a custom HTML section. Paste the Tickvio embed code where you want the timer — above or below the CTA is most effective. If you're using a coded template, paste the image tag directly into the HTML at your preferred position. Send a preview email to confirm the timer renders live with the animated countdown in your inbox.
Send the Campaign or Activate the Journey
For campaigns, schedule or send. For Journeys, activate the workflow — every subscriber who enters the Journey and opens the email sees the live countdown. Campaign Monitor's analytics will track opens and clicks from timer-enhanced emails. For agencies managing multiple clients, the same embed approach works across all client accounts without per-client setup or configuration.
Why This Integration Works
Works in Campaign Monitor Journeys
Tickvio embeds in Campaign Monitor Journey email steps — welcome series, purchase follow-ups, re-engagement sequences, and date-triggered flows. The timer renders live at each Journey step for every subscriber. For agencies building client Journeys, the timer adds a conversion-boosting element that differentiates your email execution from competitors who rely on text-only urgency.
Agency-Friendly: Works Across All Client Accounts
Campaign Monitor's agency architecture lets you manage multiple client accounts from a single login. Tickvio works across every client account without any per-account integration, API setup, or configuration. The same embed code approach works identically in every client's email builder — paste the code and it works, regardless of which client account you're working in.
No Integration or API Setup
No Campaign Monitor marketplace app, no API key, no webhooks, and no account-level permissions to configure. The timer is a standard image URL that Campaign Monitor renders like any other hosted image. Works in the drag-and-drop builder's Source view and in fully coded HTML templates. Add or remove the timer from any template without affecting Campaign Monitor settings.
Most popular ways to use the timer
Timer Use Cases
Client Campaign with Sale Deadline
For agency clients running promotions, add a Tickvio fixed-date timer to the Campaign Monitor email counting down to the sale deadline. The timer appears in the hero section above the CTA, providing visual proof that the offer is time-limited. This is especially valuable for agency clients who expect measurable results — the timer provides a clear before-and-after performance comparison.
Welcome Journey with Personal Offer Timer
Set up a Campaign Monitor Journey for new subscribers. Add a Tickvio evergreen timer to the welcome offer email with a 48-hour duration. Each subscriber sees a personal countdown from their first open. The timer transforms a generic welcome discount into a personal deadline, driving faster first-order conversions from newly acquired subscribers who have the highest purchase intent.
Event Invitation with RSVP Deadline
Create an event invitation email in Campaign Monitor with a Tickvio fixed-date timer counting down to the RSVP cutoff. The visual countdown drives last-minute registrations that text-only deadlines can't match. For organisations that run regular events — webinars, conferences, meetups — this becomes a repeatable template: update the deadline, swap the event details, and re-send.
