How to create a recurring timer?

A recurring timer is a useful tool for managing and promoting events, sales, or activities that happen regularly. Unlike a fixed timer, which counts down to a single event, a recurring timer resets after each cycle, providing ongoing reminders about repeating events or deadlines.

Where Can You Use a Recurring Timer?

1. Weekly Sales or Promotions
   Use a recurring timer to highlight weekly sales or special offers that occur on a regular basis. Display the timer on your website, in emails, and on social media to remind customers of the recurring opportunity to save.

2. Monthly Subscriptions or Renewals
   For subscription-based services or membership renewals, a recurring timer can remind users of their upcoming renewal date each month. Include it in your subscription management emails or on the user dashboard.

3. Regular Webinars or Classes
   If you host webinars or classes on a regular schedule (e.g., every Tuesday), a recurring timer can show the time remaining until the next session. Embed the timer on your event registration page or in promotional emails.

4. Daily Deals or Flash Offers
   For daily deals or limited-time flash offers that repeat every day or week, a recurring timer can create a sense of urgency and remind customers of the next opportunity to take advantage of the deal.

What is Loop Events?

Loop Events let you control how many times your recurring timer resets once it finishes a countdown. For example, if you set the Loop Events value to 3, your timer will count down, reset itself, and do this three times total — including the original countdown plus two more loops.

If you want your timer to restart weekly, just:

• Set the Timer Start Date to the next desired start (e.g., Monday at 8:00 AM),
• Set the Countdown Duration to 7 days,
• Set Loop Events to the number of times you want the weekly cycle to repeat (e.g., 4 for four weeks in a row).

Each loop refreshes automatically once the previous countdown ends, based on your time zone settings.

The loop doesn’t reset daily unless your countdown duration is 1 day. The loop refreshes only after the full duration completes.
