Description
A countdown timer block with lots of editable features is an extremely useful tool in terms of call-to-action. This is now compatible across all known email clients, with a slight exception for some desktop Outlook versions. It renders the countdown, but the timer movement is static and will not be seen to physically count down, as in all other email clients. The time will change on each open instead.
The countdown End Time needs to use the UTC timezone.
