Add Live Countdown Timers to Keap Emails and Automations
Embed a Tickvio timer in any Keap email using the HTML block. No Keap integration needed. Timer counts down live on every open.
Get Started For FreeKeap (formerly Infusionsoft) is a CRM and marketing automation platform built for small businesses, coaches, consultants, and service providers. Its email builder supports custom HTML, making Tickvio timer embedding possible in any Keap broadcast or automation email.
Keap's automation builder (Campaign Builder in Keap Max/Max Classic, or the simplified automation in Keap Pro) is where most email sends originate. Tickvio timers work in every automation email step and standalone broadcast.
No Keap marketplace app, API key, or integration is needed. The timer is a hosted image URL that Keap renders like any other image.
Tickvio works the same way with other email platforms. See how it integrates with Marketo, ActiveCampaign, Mailchimp, and HubSpot. Ready to get started? Set up your first timer or see a live demo.
How to Add a Tickvio Timer
Design a Timer for Your Keap Emails
Open Tickvio and create a new countdown timer. Set the deadline date, time, and timezone. Choose a timer design and customise colours to match your Keap email template. For broadcasts with a fixed sale deadline, select fixed-date. For automation emails where each contact enters at a different time, select evergreen — especially useful for consultation booking deadlines and follow-up sequences. Copy the embed code.
Add the HTML in Keap's Email Builder
Open your email in Keap's email builder. Add an HTML block or switch to source view. Paste the Tickvio embed code where you want the timer — above or below the CTA is most effective. Send a test email to verify the timer renders live. Keap may show a placeholder in the editor; the real email will display the animated countdown correctly in all email clients.
Send or Activate the Automation
For broadcasts, send. For automations, publish the workflow — every contact who reaches the email step and opens sees the live countdown. Keap's reporting will track opens and clicks from timer-enhanced emails. For Campaign Builder sequences (Max/Max Classic), the timer works in every email step regardless of the automation's complexity or branching logic.
Why This Integration Works
Works in Keap Automations and Campaign Builder
Tickvio embeds in Keap Pro automations and Keap Max/Max Classic Campaign Builder sequences. The timer renders live at each email step for every contact. For service businesses running multi-step follow-up sequences — consultation booking, proposal follow-up, payment reminders — the timer adds visual urgency to the touchpoints that drive revenue.
No Keap Integration or API Needed
No Keap marketplace app, no API key, no webhook configuration, and no account-level setup. The timer is a standard image URL placed in an HTML block. This means zero impact on your Keap account's functionality, no permissions to grant, no data shared with third parties, and no risk of integration issues when Keap updates their platform.
Built for Service-Based Business Offers
Keap's user base — coaches, consultants, agencies, and service providers — sells services with limited availability. Tickvio timers add visual proof of booking deadlines, enrollment windows, and consultation offer expiry. When a client sees a countdown to 'free consultation offer expires', they book faster than when they see text-only urgency copy.
Most popular ways to use the timer
Timer Use Cases
Consultation Booking Deadline
Add a Tickvio evergreen timer to a Keap automation email offering a free consultation. Set a 48-hour booking window. Each contact who enters the automation sees their personal countdown from first open. The timer transforms a standard consultation offer into a time-limited opportunity — contacts book faster because they see the window closing rather than assuming they can book anytime.
Course Enrollment with Cart Close Timer
Send a Keap broadcast for a course enrollment with a Tickvio fixed-date timer counting down to cart close. The timer appears above the enrollment CTA, providing visual proof that the enrollment window is genuinely closing. For coaches and educators who open enrollment periodically, the timer drives the urgency that converts interested prospects into paying students.
Follow-Up Sequence with Limited-Time Offer
In a Keap nurture automation, add a Tickvio evergreen timer to the offer email. Set a 72-hour personal deadline. Each contact sees their countdown from first open. The timer adds urgency to the nurture sequence's conversion point — transforming a passive 'check out our offer' email into a time-limited opportunity that drives faster decision-making.
