Please note
- The countdown behavior cannot be checked in the preview on the administration screen. To check, please use the actual website preview from "Check Preview on Site".
- The duration of the web message delivery must be set apart from the "countdown end date and time". You can set it in the Delivery Settings > Specify Delivery Period.
- If the delivery period of the web message is not over, the delivery of the web message will continue, even if you have set the "end date and time". In this case, the countdown number will continue to be displayed with zero remaining time.
- In order to use the countdown feature, you need to enable JavaScript editing in your web messages. See here for detailed instructions.
