Start-to-finish Timer Auto-retrigger

[Jscott]

This would allow a timer to automatically restart on a regular basis (daily, weekly, monthly) so that you can run regular promotions without needing to change the start and end date.

I bought this plugin because its awesome! But It would be great if you could add more type of Timers… and let me tell you… the smallest things can be the most important and that sometimes people need, in my case, I would have liked to have at my disposal a “simple remaining time counter”, which allows me to be able to set a certain time X so that it is restarted as many times as I want regardless of the visitors. Which would allow me to perform various personalized time counts simultaneously without depending on the end customer, in the same way having the possibility of repeating them automatically without having to manually restart them.

I need to set this days countdown timer to RECUR on the 11th day of every month (it’s the regular monthly deadline for an online grants application website)… please implement a recurring feature for this widget! Specifically I need this rule -

• Recur Monthly – every month on a given date at a given time

Hi - what does it mean that this is now a ‘future consideration’?.. What are the levels above it that I need to wait for before this feature is a reality?

Please add this as a feature so that you’ll be able to compete with services like Deadline Funnel!

Hello folks!

Thanks a lot for your comments and for your suggestions

I’m truly sorry that we still don’t support Evergreen timer, and I totally agree that it would be a great addition to the widget.

Our devs will try their best to find a solution to make it happen and we do believe they will be a success.

Thank you so much for sticking with us!

I would like to have a countdown with a Start-to-finish number counter where I can set the countdown frequency in sec. and simultaneously where I can set the day when the countdown starts.

So I can simulate for example only 50 items (that will diminish gradually) available in a month setting the start at the 1st day of the month.

This is much more effective in a landing page where limited sales are made in quantity.

rote:

Is it possible to have the countdown timer restart on the 1st of every month instead of by days?

Some months have 28 days while others have 30 or 31. If I set it to 30 days, it’ll be off.

I’d like to have the countdown timer restart on the 1st and then run until the last day of the month, and then reset on the 1st of the next month.

I would really like the ability to have a countdown timer repeat at a set time. Basically counting down to midnight, and when the timer reaches midnight it resets for another 24 hours. This process never ends. This is called a Evergreen timer and most other countdown timer plugins off of this option. I would really like to get rid of the plugins I’m currently using and just use you guys but I really need this feature.

Hi all,
we have a eshop and we use countdown timer for us customers.

We have notification - Time counter when customers must do order and so that we can send the goods to them on the same day. But now I must this counter set every day manually…

I need to set the countdown to finish at the specific time e.g. 10:30AM on SUNDAY, resetting to repeat every week. I can’t seem to set an automatic repeat? Please help! Thanks

[Djuare]

Basically, we have a live broadcast each week and would like the timer to just repeat. If I could just start the timer on a day of the week and have it end on a day of the week, without having to choose any particular date. Then set it to repeat. For example, each Sunday the timer would start at 12:30pm and end the following Sunday at 11:00am. Then start again at 12:30pm. Thanks.

In the “Action After Timer Finishes” tab, there should be an option to restart the timer. This should show a few settings. Fx: you could set the countdown so that it resets to a custom time period. Along with that, it would also be helpful if you can set it to “Repeat ___ times”, and change the message, button label, and link for every reset.

I fully understand if this won’t make it in, because it would probably be very difficult to implement on its own, and the menu would also probably be very messy.

[Helga]

@BurntSandwich I totally understand your idea and fully support it!

I hope we’ll find a solution to make the timer more convenient in terms of resetting options, I’ll keep you in the loop in this thread.

Many thanks for sharing your idea and joining our community, happy to see you with us!

I’m a pastor of a church. We livestream our worship service every week at the same time. I want this recurring countdown timer so that I don’t have to make a new widget and install it EVERY week. PS-I have two churches and I do this for both.
