Email AI – Smart Countdown Timer Creation and Suggestions

Jul 28, 2026

Email AI can now recognize when an email would benefit from a live Countdown Timer (CDT) and guide users through adding one during template creation or layout updates.

πŸš€ What we did

Added Countdown Timer tools to Email AI to ensure it can assist and add a countdown timer to relevant emails.

πŸ‘· How does it work?

Email AI detects time-sensitive emails such as flash sales, product launches, webinars, and expiring offers and offers a timer only when the email is relevant to a deadline or the user explicitly requests one.

  • Allows users to:
  1. Select an existing timer.
  2. Create a new timer.

β€’ Collects the timer’s end date, style, and destination link when creating a new timer.

β€’ Embeds the selected timer into the generated email.

β€’ Added graceful fallback behavior if the timer prompt is skipped or times out.

πŸ’‘ Benefits

  • Makes time-sensitive campaigns easier to create.
  • Helps users add urgency without manually configuring timer elements.
  • Reuses existing timers when available.
  • Avoids interrupting users with irrelevant suggestions.
  • Produces more context-aware promotional emails.
