Adding a Countdown Timer in AWeber
Step-by-step guide to embedding an animated countdown timer in AWeber email newsletters and follow-up series.
Create your timer in GifyLabs
Sign in to GifyLabs and create a countdown timer with your target date and preferred design.
Copy the embed code
Copy the <img> embed code from your GifyLabs dashboard.
Open AWeber's email editor
In AWeber, go to Messages and open your email in the drag-and-drop editor.
Add an Image block
Drag an "Image" element into your email. Click "Insert image from URL" and paste the GifyLabs timer image URL.
Set alt text and optional link
Add alt text (e.g., "Countdown timer — offer expires soon") and optionally link the image to your landing page.
Send a test email
Click "Send Test" to verify the animated countdown displays correctly in your inbox.
Tips
AWeber supports animated GIFs in both the drag-and-drop editor and the HTML editor.
Use evergreen timers in AWeber follow-up series for personalized countdowns.
AWeber also supports raw HTML — you can paste the full embed code in an HTML block for more control.
