Email GIF promo

shipped

1

Create or choose the promo that carries the deadline, coupon, tier, or redirect.

2

Add email gif promo to the campaign surface that customers will actually see.

3

Use promo test mode to preview the active, expiring, and expired states before launch.

Why it matters

## Useful when Promos needs conversion to be part of the actual selling flow.

In Plandalf

Same engine renders the countdown as an animated GIF for email, with a per-recipient deadline via merge tag.

Why not bolt it on

Most email-countdown tools render a server-side image that drifts from the on-site clock.

Where it shows up

## Part of the buyer moment, not an isolated setting.

04

Carry it into email

Render the same deadline in email and on-site so a buyer sees one campaign, not a mismatched collection of clocks.
