How to add Countdown to a Unbounce landing page

Embed Countdown on Unbounce

01

Create a Countdown integration for Unbounce on Common Ninja

First, create a Unbounce Countdown integration on Common Ninja. On the integrations catalog, find the Countdown and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Countdown integration

When you're done creating the Countdown integration, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Countdown Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Countdown integration to your Unbounce landing page, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the integration embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your Unbounce landing page.

04

Paste the code to your Unbounce website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your Unbounce landing page editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the Unbounce’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Countdown Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Countdown integration on your Unbounce landing page.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Countdown integration on your Unbounce integration. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Unbounce landing page’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Countdown integration to your Unbounce landing page. You can do this by putting it straight into your Unbounce landing page's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Countdown widget when a specific date or time defines the importance of your offer or event. A visible timer counting down to a webinar, launch, sale end, or registration deadline makes the time frame concrete and keeps it in front of visitors while they read. This helps turn vague interest into timely action, since people clearly see that waiting carries a cost. You can pair the countdown with a form, purchase button, or calendar link to give a natural next step. It is effective on landing pages, event hubs, pre launch campaigns, and limited bonuses. A well placed countdown creates healthy urgency without relying only on text reminders.
