What is the Countdown Widget?
The Countdown Widget is a powerful tool for creating time-limited sales campaigns. It allows you to display posts for 24 hours, offering exclusive deals before revealing the next one.
How It Works
Select a mystery image and multiple posts.
Each day, a new post is revealed, replacing the previous one.
Posts can showcase a product or CTA, driving visitor engagement.
After 24 hours, the revealed post is hidden, and the next one becomes available.
The Countdown Widget is a premium feature. Contact your Customer Success Manager (CSM) for activation.
How to Create a Countdown Widget
Once activated, the Countdown menu will appear under Visual Marketing > Distribution. To create a new Countdown:
Click Create in the Countdown menu.
Enter a name for your Countdown.
Select a product catalog for tagging products in your Countdown posts.
(Optional) Add a description.
How to Add Posts to Your Countdown Widget
In the Countdown menu, click on a post (mystery image).
Each post corresponds to a specific day of the campaign.
The number next to each post box indicates the day it will be revealed.
In the pop-up window, configure your post:

Add a CTA button and / or tag a product from your catalog.
The post will be visible for 24 hours before the next one appears.
