# Event Countdown

Event-Related

The **Event Countdown** shows a live timer counting down to the event's start date and time, pulled automatically from the Salesforce Event record. The timer updates in real time for visitors.

### Settings

- **Countdown Format**: choose which units to display (days, hours, minutes, seconds)
- **Background Color**: container background
- **Text Color**: main number text color
- **Box Background**: background for each time unit box
- **Box Text Color**: color inside the time unit boxes
- **Label Color / Label Size**: style the "days", "hours" labels
- **Font Size**: size of the countdown numbers
- **Corner Radius**: rounds the time unit boxes

💡Place a **Register Button** directly below the Countdown to convert urgency into action: visitors who see "3 days left" are primed to register immediately.
