Can a Klaviyo flow show each recipient their own deadline?

Yes. The UrgencyKit embed includes a ?end= value. Replace it with a Klaviyo profile or event property containing each recipient's deadline, and a flow such as an abandoned-cart series can show every recipient a countdown personalized to their own end time.

Add a countdown timer to Klaviyo emails

Q: Does Klaviyo have a countdown timer?

Klaviyo does not include a built-in live countdown timer for emails. UrgencyKit adds one as a single image URL you paste into a Klaviyo text or image block, in both campaigns and flows. The image renders the current countdown each time the email is opened.

Q: How do I add a countdown timer to a Klaviyo email?

Create a campaign in UrgencyKit and copy the image embed. In the Klaviyo editor, add an image or text/HTML block and use the UrgencyKit image URL. It works in both one-off campaigns and automated flows.

Live countdowns in your Klaviyo campaigns and flows — one image URL, no JavaScript, no plugins.

Klaviyo doesn't ship a built-in live countdown timer for emails. UrgencyKit adds one as a single image URL you drop into a Klaviyo block — in both one-off campaigns and automated flows. Every time a recipient opens the email, the image re-renders to show the exact time remaining, which is especially powerful in abandoned-cart and time-limited-offer flows.

Personalize the deadline in a flow

For abandoned-cart timers or per-recipient offers, the embed includes a ?end= value that overrides the default deadline. Swap it for a Klaviyo profile or event property holding each recipient's end time, and every person in the flow sees their own countdown:

The ?end= value accepts a Unix timestamp or ISO 8601 date, so it works with whatever your Klaviyo property stores.

Will it render in my recipients' inboxes?

Yes — it's a plain image, so it displays in Gmail, Apple Mail, Outlook, Yahoo and essentially every client. See the full email client support details, including how animated timers behave in Outlook.
