Countdown

Use Countdown to display a real deadline or an evergreen session timer. It is best for launches, events, bonus windows, cart deadlines, or limited-time offers.

How It Works In Atomicat​

The drawer supports two countdown types: Due Date and Evergreen Timer. Due Date uses a date and time value. Evergreen Timer stores hours and minutes, starting from a duration such as 00:15. You can show or hide Days, Hours, Minutes, and Seconds independently, rename their labels, choose whether labels appear above or below values, hide labels entirely, and show a separator with dotted or solid styles.

When To Use It​

  • Show a launch deadline or webinar start time with Due Date.
  • Create a session-based bonus timer with Evergreen Timer.
  • Highlight an offer window near a Button, Product, or Form section.
  • Add urgency to a quiz result or checkout pre-sell page when the timer is truthful.

Configure The Element​

  • Choose Due Date for a fixed calendar deadline or Evergreen Timer for a visitor/session duration.
  • Set date/time or hours/minutes before styling.
  • Decide which units to show; short offers may only need minutes and seconds.
  • Rename unit labels if your campaign language requires it.
  • Enable separators only when they improve readability.

Testing Notes​

  • Preview after saving and wait long enough to confirm the numbers decrease correctly.
  • Test the published page in a fresh session for evergreen behavior.
  • Check mobile spacing when all four units are visible.

Limitations And Tips​

  • Do not use fake reset timers unless your legal and advertising policy allows the exact behavior.
  • Due Date behavior depends on date/time configuration, so review timezone expectations for the campaign.
  • Hide labels only when the visual meaning remains obvious.
