How to Sync Dynamic Countdown Timers in GoHighLevel

If you manage campaigns in tools like ClickUp and need perfectly aligned deadlines across all assets, you can sync a dynamic countdown timer in GoHighLevel so the same timer appears consistently on both emails and webpages. This guide walks you through using the built-in Countdown Hero integration to create a single shared timer that stays in sync everywhere.

By following these steps, you will avoid discrepancies between email timers and landing page timers and ensure a unified countdown experience for subscribers and visitors.

What You Need Before You Start in GoHighLevel

Before configuring your synced timer in GoHighLevel, make sure you have:

  • An active GoHighLevel account with access to the Builder.
  • At least one email template or campaign ready to edit.
  • A page or funnel step in which you can embed the same countdown timer.
  • Access to the Countdown Hero element inside the GoHighLevel builder.

Once you have these pieces in place, you can connect your email and webpage timers through a shared campaign ID.

Overview: How Timers Sync in GoHighLevel

The dynamic timer sync is driven by a campaign ID managed by Countdown Hero and used inside GoHighLevel:

  • You configure a timer once via Countdown Hero.
  • Countdown Hero assigns a campaign ID to that timer.
  • You paste that same campaign ID into both:
  1. Your GoHighLevel email (via a URL parameter or code snippet).
  2. Your GoHighLevel webpage or funnel page (via the Countdown Hero element).

Because the ID is the same in both locations, the countdown stays synchronized for each user.

Step 1: Open the Countdown Hero Timer in GoHighLevel

Start by creating or opening the countdown timer you want to sync:

  1. Log into your GoHighLevel account.
  2. Go to the page or funnel where you want the timer to appear.
  3. Open the page in the Builder.
  4. Add a Countdown Hero element if it is not already on the page.
  5. Click the countdown element to open its settings panel.

In the Countdown Hero settings, you will be able to define the deadline and access the campaign ID information needed later.

Configure Your Countdown Settings in GoHighLevel

Within the Countdown Hero configuration inside GoHighLevel, you typically set:

  • The campaign name or label for your reference.
  • The end date and time for the countdown.
  • Display preferences such as colors and formats.

Save your settings so the timer is live on your page.

Step 2: Locate the Campaign ID for GoHighLevel Emails

To sync email and page timers, you must find the unique campaign ID provided by Countdown Hero through the GoHighLevel interface.

In the Countdown Hero panel or associated dashboard, look for:

  • Campaign ID or Timer ID
  • A code snippet or URL that includes the ID as a parameter

Copy this value exactly. This ID will be reused both in your email setup and on your GoHighLevel page or funnel so the countdown matches everywhere.

Why the Campaign ID Matters in GoHighLevel

The campaign ID tells Countdown Hero and GoHighLevel to load:

  • The same end time and rules for each user.
  • The same countdown visuals across email and web.

If you use different IDs, the email timer and on-page timer will not be synchronized.

Step 3: Insert the Dynamic Timer into a GoHighLevel Email

Next, you will embed the countdown into your email so that it uses the same campaign ID as the webpage.

  1. Open your GoHighLevel email template or campaign.
  2. Switch to the email editor.
  3. Identify where you want to place the countdown timer.

Depending on the integration, you will normally do one of the following:

  • Paste a URL that contains the campaign ID as a query parameter.
  • Insert an image or HTML snippet generated by Countdown Hero that already includes the ID.

Make sure the campaign ID in the email matches the campaign ID from your Countdown Hero timer used in GoHighLevel pages.

Test the Email Timer in GoHighLevel

Before sending the email to your list, always test it:

  1. Send a test email to yourself.
  2. Open it in different email clients or devices.
  3. Confirm the countdown appears and counts down correctly.

Check that the time remaining in the email matches the time shown on your GoHighLevel landing page or funnel step.

Step 4: Confirm the Shared Timer on Your GoHighLevel Page

Now verify that your on-page countdown uses the same campaign ID:

  1. Return to your GoHighLevel page or funnel.
  2. Click the Countdown Hero element.
  3. Open the timer settings and confirm the campaign ID field.
  4. Ensure it matches the ID used in the email setup.

If you had previously created multiple countdown campaigns, double-check that you did not accidentally mix IDs from different campaigns.

Preview the Page Countdown in GoHighLevel

To be sure everything is in sync:

  • Click Preview in the GoHighLevel builder.
  • View the page as a visitor would.
  • Confirm that the countdown time matches what you saw in the test email.

If there is any mismatch, re-check the campaign ID values and update them so they are identical.

Step 5: Run a Full Sync Test for Your GoHighLevel Campaign

After configuring the timer in both locations, run a complete test before launching your live campaign.

  1. Open your GoHighLevel page with the countdown timer.
  2. Open your test email containing the same timer.
  3. Compare the remaining time displayed in both places.
  4. Refresh both views after a few minutes to confirm they are still synchronized.

Because both timers rely on the same Countdown Hero campaign ID, they should stay perfectly in sync for each user.

Best Practices for Using Timers in GoHighLevel

To get the most from dynamic countdown timers in GoHighLevel, follow these best practices:

  • Set clear end dates: Make your deadline explicit in the copy around the timer.
  • Use scarcity ethically: Ensure that the timer reflects a genuine end time.
  • Test across devices: Verify that timers display well on desktop and mobile.
  • Align automations: Coordinate workflows and follow-up sequences in GoHighLevel with the same deadline.

Properly configured, synced timers can increase urgency and conversions without creating confusion for your audience.

Troubleshooting Sync Issues in GoHighLevel

If your email and page timers do not match, use this quick checklist:

  • Confirm you are using Countdown Hero timers in both email and webpage.
  • Verify the campaign ID is identical in all locations.
  • Refresh caches or test in an incognito browser window.
  • Send a new test email after any changes.
