Getting Started

In this guide, we'll show you how to add a Deadline Funnel timer to your Unbounce page.

This process involves 3 steps:

Deadline Funnel default behavior

The default behavior in Deadline Funnel is to always show a deadline on the page.

  • If the visitor has already been tracked by Deadline Funnel, then we'll show their existing deadline.

  • If they haven't been tracked yet, Deadline Funnel will start tracking them via their IP address/cookie, and display a new deadline for that user.


Create your Deadline Funnel campaign

You will need to create your first campaign before you can add your timer to an Unbounce page.

Once you've created your Deadline Funnel campaign, you can follow the steps below to integrate with Unbounce.
