Important: This feature is only available for Mailchimp users with a Standard plan or higher

If you want to add an animated countdown timer into your MailChimp email you can follow the instructions here: How to Add an Animated Email Countdown to MailChimp

In your campaign, navigate to the 'Emails' tab in the left hand menu.

In the top section of this page you'll see your Integration settings listed, including your Custom Field:

Important Note: There can be a delay between when the webhook triggers the deadline for a contact and when the contact's custom field gets populated with their deadline. Because of this, we recommend that you don't use the custom field in your emails until at least one day after the deadline is initially triggered.

1. In the email editor, place the cursor where you want to add the dynamic date and time and click 'Merge Tags':

2. Scroll down and select your Deadline Funnel custom field that you used for your API integration (we named ours 'DeadlineText'):

3. This will insert your custom field placeholder into your email: (note that the merge tag name will be different from the Custom Field name)

4. When you send yourself the email, you will see that the placeholder has been replaced with the deadline text format you chose in your setup.

NOTE : You must send an actual email, the placeholder will not be replaced in a test message. You can send the email to yourself to test the delivery.
