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?

Wanting to automatically reset the sign up form count down timer

Hi there
- 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.

Happy to hear that you’ve found a workaround that suits your needs for the time being!
