Getting Started

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

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

Adding Your Tracking Code to Squarespace

3. Click 'Advanced':

4. And finally, click 'Code Injection':

5. Paste the tracking code from Deadline Funnel into the 'Header' section:

Now you're ready to add a Floating Bar, Inline timer, or Portal to your page.


Add a Floating Bar Timer

1. After you've added the tracking code to your page (and if you haven't yet, start here), you're ready to add the timer. Return to your Squarespace page and click to view it so you can get the correct URL to add in Deadline Funnel.

2. Navigate to Edit Campaign > Pages to add a new page, then add your Squarespace page URL, select 'Display Floating Bar', add a redirect URL (optional), and then click 'Save'

3. Once you save your changes, the floating bar will now appear on your Squarespace page. Here's an example of what the Floating Bar will look like:

2. Navigate to Edit Campaign > Pages to add a new page then add your Squarespace page URL, select 'Display Inline Timer', add your redirect URL (optional), copy the HTML Code you need to display your timer inline, and click 'Save':

3. On your Squarespace page, click the plus sign where you want to add the inline timer and then select the '< / > Code' block:

4. Paste your Deadline Funnel HTML snippet into the code box, click 'Apply', and then save your page:

5. Your inline timer will now appear on your Squarespace page:

Note: You can add multiple HTML widgets to your Squarespace page to add additional instances of your countdown to the same page.

How to Add Portal
