Hi there.

I have code for a dynamic timer that works well for 24, 48, 72... and so on hours. But today I needed to make it 12 hours. As I understand, I need to change this days_later:1 setting, but how? I've already tried several options and none of them worked. I would really appreciate any advice or solutions if any.

Here’s my code:

<a href="https://www.klaviyo.com">{% today "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S" as today %}<img style="text-align: center;" src="https://gen.sendtric.com/countdown/0lvrjmmo2u?to={{ today|days_later:1 |format_date_string|date:'U'}}" alt="ENDS IN 12 HOURS" width="280"></a>

Hi @klovackdesign !

Thank you for reaching out to the Community. Have you considered trying to use a third party like MailTimers to set up a countdown in your email? We have a whole guide on how to set this up, and it will likely save you some time rather than having to build out custom HTML code!

Here is the guide I am referencing: How to add a countdown timer to an email .

I hope this helps!
