Add Live Countdown Timers to Omnisend Emails and Automations
Paste a Tickvio timer into any Omnisend campaign or automation workflow using the HTML block. No Omnisend app needed. Live countdown renders on every open.
Get Started For FreeOmnisend is built for e-commerce email and SMS marketing — and its drag-and-drop email editor includes a custom HTML block that makes adding a Tickvio countdown timer straightforward. Paste the Tickvio embed code into an HTML block, and the timer renders as a live animated GIF every time a subscriber opens the email.
Omnisend users rely heavily on pre-built automation workflows — welcome series, abandoned cart recovery, browse abandonment, order confirmation follow-ups, and cross-sell sequences. Tickvio timers work in every automation email step.
There's no Omnisend app or marketplace integration required. The timer is an external image URL that Omnisend renders natively.
Tickvio works the same way with other email platforms. See how it integrates with Bloomreach, Drip, Mailchimp, and Retention.com. Ready to get started? Set up your first timer or see a live demo.
How to Add a Tickvio Timer
Set Up Your Countdown in Tickvio
Open your Tickvio dashboard and create a new countdown timer. Set the deadline date, time, and timezone. Choose a timer style and match colours to your Omnisend email template design.
For Omnisend automations, choose between fixed-date (everyone sees the same deadline) or evergreen (personal countdown per subscriber).
Add an HTML Block in the Omnisend Email Editor
Open your email in Omnisend's Campaign or Automation email editor. Drag an HTML block from the content panel into your layout.
Paste the Tickvio embed code. Omnisend may show a placeholder in the editor. Use Omnisend's preview or send a test email to confirm the timer renders live.
Send or Activate — The Timer Is Live
For campaigns, send or schedule. For automations, activate the workflow — every subscriber who opens sees a live countdown.
Use Omnisend's A/B testing to compare timer versus no-timer versions.
Why This Integration Works
Built for Omnisend's E-Commerce Automations
Omnisend's pre-built automation workflows — abandoned cart, browse abandonment, welcome series, order follow-up, cross-sell, and win-back — all support the HTML block where Tickvio embeds. The timer renders live for every subscriber at every automation step. For e-commerce brands that drive the majority of their email revenue through automations, adding timers to these workflows directly impacts their highest-value email touchpoints.
No Omnisend App or API Integration Required
No Omnisend app installation, no API configuration, no account-level permissions, and no engineering setup. The timer is a hosted image URL placed in an HTML block. This means zero impact on your Omnisend account, no permissions to grant, no data shared with third parties, and the timer can be added or removed from any template at any time without affecting Omnisend settings.
Works Across All Omnisend Channels
While the animated timer renders in email, Tickvio's embed code can also be used in Omnisend's web push notifications and landing pages where HTML is supported.
Most popular ways to use the timer
Timer Use Cases
Abandoned Cart Recovery with Hold Timer
Add a Tickvio evergreen timer to your Omnisend abandoned cart automation. Set a 24-hour duration. Each subscriber who abandons their cart and opens the recovery email sees a personal countdown creating 'cart hold' urgency. The timer suggests items won't be reserved indefinitely, which drives faster checkout completion. E-commerce brands using this approach in Omnisend report measurably higher cart recovery rates.
Flash Sale Campaign to Full Subscriber List
Create an Omnisend campaign for a limited-time sale — flash sale, seasonal promotion, or clearance event. Add a Tickvio fixed-date timer counting down to the sale end. The timer appears in the hero section above the CTA, providing visual proof that the offer is genuinely time-limited. For Omnisend users with large subscriber lists, the timer is the single most effective urgency element.
Welcome Series First-Purchase Offer
In your Omnisend welcome automation, add a Tickvio evergreen timer to the discount offer email — typically the second or third email in the sequence. Set a 48-hour or 72-hour duration. Each new subscriber sees a personal countdown from their first open. The timer transforms a standard welcome discount into a time-limited personal event that accelerates first-purchase conversions.
