COMING SOON

Coming soon you will be able to create limited-time offers directly inside your WhatsApp messages using Countdown Timers.

Whether it’s a flash sale, a special event, or a time-sensitive promo, these timers help you drive urgency and increase engagement — right from the chat window.

When the timer runs out, recipients automatically see the expired state or a follow-up offer page, making the experience seamless and interactive.


Once We Launch:

  1. Create a new WhatsApp template.

  2. Add your header and message content.

  3. In the button section, select the Countdown Timer type (fixed, recurring, or dynamic).

  4. Click Edit Timer to set your timer details — including start, end, and reset options.

  5. Save your template and send it through your normal WhatsApp workflows.

Note: For dynamic timers, the trigger defaults to “WhatsApp Sent,” but it can be customized to any other delivery event.
