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.


Add the Deadline Funnel Tracking Code to your page

In order for Deadline Funnel to track people on your pages, display the timer, and redirect people away when it reaches zero, you need to add the Tracking Code to the settings of your page first.

To start, click on 'Tracking Code' at the top of your Deadline Funnel dashboard and click the first copy button:

Navigate to the editor of the page you want to add the timer to:


Click the 'Drop Down Arrow' in the top right corner, then select 'Tracking Code':

Paste the Tracking Code from Deadline Funnel into the 'Embed in to Head section' box and click 'Add':

Click the 'Save' button in the top right corner:

Now that you've completed this step, you can follow these additional instructions to add a Floating Bar, Inline Timer, or Portal to your page.


Add a Floating Bar Countdown Timer to your Zenler page

In your campaign in Deadline Funnel, head to the Pages section and click "Add New Page". Make sure that 'Display Floating Bar' is selected, add your Zenler page URL and optionally add a URL where each subscriber should be redirected to when their deadline expires:


Now refresh your Zenler page, and you should see the Floating Bar. Here's an example of what it will look like:


Add an Inline Countdown Timer to your Zenler page

Go to the “Pages” section of your Deadline Funnel campaign and click “Add New Page”.

Make sure that 'Display Inline Timer' is selected, add your Zenler page URL and optionally add a URL where each subscriber should be redirected to when their deadline expires. Before you hit save, make sure to copy the HTML snippet needed to add your Inline timer to your page:

Back in Zenler, add a Custom HTML Element to the spot on the page where you want the timer to show:

Click the gear icon and to edit the block, then click the blue '</> Change content' button that appears on the right hand side:

Paste in the Inline Code Snippet and click 'Update':

Be sure to click 'Save' in the top right-hand corner:

And that's it! Your inline countdown will now appear on your landing page.


Add Portal to your Zenler page

In your campaign in Deadline Funnel, head to the Pages section and click "Add New Page". Make sure that 'Display Portal' is selected, add your Zenler page URL and optionally add a URL where each subscriber should be redirected to when their deadline expires and hit 'Save':

Now refresh your Zenler page, and you should see Portal. Here's an example of what it will look like:
