Wanting to automatically reset the sign up form count down timer

Our team is wanting to automatically reset the sign up form count down timer at midnight every night. Seems like the two options are either set a date/time of countdown expiring OR set a timer length that starts when visitor sees the timer.
Is there a way to do automatically set the countdown timer for the end of each day?

Hi there @sven88.

@standoutecom is right here! You’ll need to use a third integration for this kind of timer as Klaviyo’s timer only has these two options below:

A Fixed date countdown timer counts down to a specific date or time. For example, if you have a VIP sale that begins at midnight on a certain date, or a limited time offer with a set end date, use the fixed date setting.
A Variable date countdown timer begins counting down when the form launches, and resets with every new page load. If you set a variable timer to 1 hour, every form viewer will see a countdown timer beginning at 1 hour, regardless of when they visit your site.

However, I agree that this would be a helpful tool so I am passing along this piece of feedback to our product team as a feature request!

Thanks for sharing your question with us and letting us know how to make our product better!

Thanks Taylor.

The work around I am currently using is that I cloned the current form and every other day I alternate and schedule version A to end at 12:00 and form B to start at 12:00. I still have to manually schedule it but at least it doesn’t have to be at midnight.
