Add Live Countdown Timers to Zoho Campaigns Emails
Embed a Tickvio timer in any Zoho Campaigns email using the HTML element. No Zoho integration needed. Live countdown on every open.
Get Started For FreeZoho Campaigns is the email marketing tool within the Zoho ecosystem — tightly integrated with Zoho CRM, Zoho Commerce, and Zoho's full suite of business tools. Its email editor supports custom HTML elements, making Tickvio timer embedding straightforward.
Zoho Campaigns users send one-off campaigns, automated workflows, and autoresponder sequences. Tickvio timers work in all three. No Zoho Marketplace app, API connection, or CRM integration is needed — the timer is a standard image URL.
Tickvio works the same way with other email platforms. See how it integrates with SendGrid, Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, and HubSpot. Ready to get started? Set up your first timer or see a live demo.
How to Add a Tickvio Timer
Build Your Countdown Timer in Tickvio
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 Zoho Campaigns template. For campaigns with a universal sale deadline, select fixed-date. For workflow emails where each contact enters at a different time, select evergreen — each person gets a personal countdown from their first open. Copy the embed code.
Add an HTML Element in Zoho Campaigns' Editor
Open your email in Zoho Campaigns' editor. Add an HTML element or use the source code view. Paste the Tickvio embed code where you want the timer — above or below the CTA is most effective. Send a test email to confirm the timer renders live. Zoho Campaigns' editor may show a placeholder for external images; the real email will display the animated countdown correctly.
Send or Activate the Workflow
For campaigns, send or schedule. For workflows, activate. Every recipient who opens sees the live countdown. Zoho Campaigns' reporting will track opens and clicks from timer-enhanced emails. For businesses using Zoho CRM-triggered workflows, the timer adds urgency to deal-stage emails and follow-up sequences without any additional Zoho-side configuration.
Why This Integration Works
Works in Zoho Campaigns Workflows
Tickvio embeds in Zoho Campaigns automated workflow emails — welcome series, purchase triggers, date-based sends, and CRM-synced automations. The timer renders live at each workflow step for every contact. For businesses deeply embedded in the Zoho ecosystem, the timer adds a conversion-boosting element to CRM-triggered email touchpoints.
No Zoho Marketplace App Needed
No Zoho Marketplace app, no API key, no CRM webhook, and no account-level permissions to configure. The timer is a hosted image URL placed in an HTML element. This means zero impact on your Zoho account's API limits, no data shared between Tickvio and Zoho, and no dependency on Zoho's marketplace or integration ecosystem.
Complements the Zoho Ecosystem
Businesses using Zoho CRM, Zoho Commerce, and Zoho Campaigns together can add timer urgency to CRM-triggered email campaigns without any Zoho-side integration work. The timer operates independently of Zoho's data layer — CRM deal-stage triggers fire the email through Zoho Campaigns, and the Tickvio timer adds the visual urgency. Both systems work in the same email without conflict.
Most popular ways to use the timer
Timer Use Cases
CRM-Triggered Deal Follow-Up with Timer
Set up a Zoho Campaigns workflow triggered by a CRM deal stage change. When a deal moves to 'Proposal Sent', trigger a follow-up email with a Tickvio evergreen timer offering a 48-hour decision window. Each prospect sees a personal countdown from their first open. The timer creates urgency around the proposal response, driving faster deal progression through the pipeline.
E-Commerce Promotion with Sale Deadline
Create a Zoho Campaigns email for a Zoho Commerce store sale. Add a Tickvio fixed-date timer counting down to sale end. The timer appears in the hero section above the CTA, providing visual proof that the offer is genuinely time-limited. For Zoho Commerce merchants, the timer bridges the gap between the email and the store checkout — creating urgency that carries through to purchase.
Welcome Autoresponder with First-Order Offer
Add a Tickvio evergreen timer to your Zoho Campaigns welcome autoresponder's discount email. Set a 72-hour duration. Each new subscriber sees a personal countdown from their first open. The timer transforms a standard welcome discount into a personal deadline, driving faster first purchases from newly acquired contacts who have the highest purchase intent.
