How can I install a countdown timer widget on my Webflow site?

TL;DR
  • Choose a third-party countdown timer (e.g., Elfsight), customize it, and copy the embed code.
  • Add an Embed element in Webflow, paste the code, save, and publish your site to activate the timer.

To install a countdown timer widget on your Webflow site, you can use either Webflow-native elements with custom code or third-party tools. Here's how to do both.

1. Choose a Countdown Timer Method

  • Custom Embed Timer: Use HTML/CSS/JavaScript via an Embed element.
  • External Tool: Use platforms like Elfsight, POWr, or CountDownKings that provide customizable timers and embed codes.

2. Get the Embed Code (for Third-Party Tools)

  • Go to a platform like Elfsight (https://elfsight.com/countdown-timer-widget/) or POWr.io.
  • Customize your timer appearance, end time, and behavior.
  • Copy the provided embed code snippet (usually JavaScript within a <div> container).

3. Add Embed Code in Webflow

  • Open your project in Webflow Designer.
  • Navigate to the page or symbol where the countdown should appear.
  • Drag an Embed element from the Add panel into your canvas.
  • Paste the copied code inside the Embed element.
  • Click Save & Close to insert it into the page.

4. Publish and Test

  • Click Publish in the top right.
  • View the live site (not just preview) to ensure the timer displays and counts down correctly.
  • If it doesn’t appear, ensure you're checking the published version and the embed script is correctly formatted.

Summary

To install a countdown timer on your Webflow site, choose a third-party widget (like Elfsight or POWr), copy its embed code, insert it into a Webflow Embed element, and publish your site. This method avoids writing custom code and provides quick customization options.
