Countdown Timer

Purpose

The block displays a countdown timer to a specified date. It is useful for deadlines, launches, promotions, and limited-time offers.

Content

  • Title: the timer heading, edited directly in the block.

Settings

  • Target date: the target date and time. The recommended format is an ISO string, for example 2026-12-31T23:59:59.
  • Expired message: the text that replaces the timer after it expires.

Frontend Behavior

On the frontend, the block calculates the remaining time and updates days, hours, minutes, and seconds roughly once per second. If the date has already passed or cannot be calculated, the block displays Expired message.

Availability

This is a Pro block. It appears in the editor only when Pro mode is active.
