How to Edit a Countdown Timer in GoHighLevel

Editing a countdown timer in GoHighLevel is simple once you know where each setting lives. If you are used to tools like ClickUp for organizing tasks, this guide will feel familiar because it breaks every step into small, clear actions. Follow along to customize your timer design, duration, and behavior so it fits perfectly into your funnel or website.

This tutorial is based on the official GoHighLevel support documentation and walks you through the exact controls available inside the builder.

Accessing the Countdown Timer in GoHighLevel

Before you can edit anything, you must open the page or funnel that already contains a countdown element.

1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account.

2. Navigate to the Funnels or Websites section where your page is located.

3. Open the specific funnel step or page that contains the countdown timer.

4. Hover over the countdown timer element until you see the blue outline and settings icons.

5. Click the gear icon (settings) to open the countdown timer configuration panel.

All of the options described below are available from this settings panel inside GoHighLevel.

Understanding GoHighLevel Countdown Timer Types

When you edit the timer, the first important choice is the type of countdown you want to use. GoHighLevel supports three main countdown modes that define how the time behaves for each visitor.

GoHighLevel Regular (Fixed Date) Countdown

The regular countdown is a fixed-date timer. It counts down to a specific calendar date and time that you set.

• Every visitor sees the same remaining time.

• Useful for launches, webinars, and promotions that end at one global deadline.

• The timer stops when the selected end date and time are reached.

To use it, choose Regular and then pick a date and time in the configuration fields.

GoHighLevel EverGreen Countdown

The EverGreen timer is a per-visitor countdown. It starts from a duration (for example 2 days or 1 hour) each time a visitor lands on the page.

• Each visitor gets their own unique countdown.

• Ideal for automated funnels and always-on offers.

• The countdown duration is reset per visitor based on the first time they visited.

To enable it, select EverGreen and then set the time period (days, hours, minutes, seconds) instead of a calendar date.

GoHighLevel Recurring Countdown

The recurring timer repeats between two times of day or between end and start times that you define.

• Perfect for recurring daily, weekly, or repeated event offers.

• The timer automatically restarts according to the recurring schedule.

• Visitors see a countdown that loops based on your chosen cycle.

Choose Recurring and then set the repeat parameters to control when the countdown renews.

Editing Time and Display Settings in GoHighLevel

Once you have selected the correct countdown type, adjust the time and visibility settings so the timer behaves exactly the way you want.

Set the End or Duration

• Regular countdown: Choose the calendar date and exact time the offer will end.

• EverGreen countdown: Enter the number of days, hours, minutes, and seconds to count down from.

• Recurring countdown: Define start and end times and set how frequently the countdown resets.

Select the Time Zone

In the settings panel, choose the desired time zone for your countdown.

• Use a global time zone if you want a single worldwide deadline.

• Match your business or event location for time-sensitive promotions.

The correct time zone ensures that visitors see the accurate time left, based on your campaign logic.

Choose Which Units to Show

You can decide which time units appear in the countdown:

• Days

• Hours

• Minutes

• Seconds

Toggle each unit on or off depending on the length and style of your campaign. For very short promotions, you might only show hours and minutes.

Customizing Countdown Design in GoHighLevel

The appearance of your countdown timer can be adjusted so it matches your brand and page layout. All styling controls are available from the same settings panel.

Change Layout and Alignment

Use the layout and alignment options to fit the timer into your design.

• Align the timer to the left, center, or right inside the column.

• Adjust spacing using margin and padding controls.

• Consider placing the timer near your main call-to-action for maximum impact.

Adjust Colors and Typography

You can configure how the digits and labels look:

• Set the background color of the time blocks.

• Change the text color for the numbers and unit labels.

• Choose the font size and weight so the timer stands out.

Make sure the text is readable on both desktop and mobile views inside GoHighLevel.

Edit Labels and Language

If the default labels (such as “Days” or “Hours”) do not match your brand voice or language, you can edit them.

• Replace labels with your preferred wording.

• Translate labels into your audience’s language.

• Use shorter labels if space is tight on mobile devices.

Configuring Actions When the GoHighLevel Timer Ends

One of the most important parts of editing a countdown timer is defining what happens after the time reaches zero. GoHighLevel offers several options to control post-expiration behavior.

Hide or Show Elements After Expiry

You can choose to hide the countdown when it ends, or show a different message in its place.

• Hide the timer completely and rely on other page elements.

• Swap the timer for a text notice such as “Offer expired”.

• Display a different block or section that guides visitors to a new action.

Redirect Visitors After the Countdown

Another option is to send users to a different URL when the timer expires.

• Redirect to a waitlist or “coming soon” page.

• Send them to a full-price version of the offer.

• Move them to a different funnel step with an alternate offer.

To do this, set the redirect URL in the countdown settings and ensure the link is correct.

Testing Your GoHighLevel Countdown Timer

After editing, always test the countdown before sending traffic to the page.

1. Click Save in the GoHighLevel builder.

2. Use the Preview button to open the page in a new tab.

3. Check that the time, labels, and design appear correctly on desktop.

4. Resize your browser or use the mobile preview to verify responsiveness.

5. For EverGreen or recurring timers, refresh the page or use a new browser session to confirm that behavior is consistent.

Performing a quick review now helps prevent confusion for visitors and ensures that the countdown supports your sales strategy.
