HubSpot Integration
Add countdown timers to your HubSpot marketing emails
HubSpot is an all-in-one marketing, sales, and CRM platform. Adding SnapTimers countdowns to your HubSpot marketing emails helps create urgency for promotions, webinar registrations, and time-sensitive offers.
Step-by-Step Guide
Create Your Timer in SnapTimers
Design your countdown timer with our visual editor. Choose colors that match your HubSpot email template and brand guidelines.
- Match your HubSpot brand colors
- Use the same fonts as your email template for consistency
Copy the Timer Embed Code
Click "Get Embed Code" and copy the HTML snippet. For evergreen timers, select "HubSpot" as your Email Provider in the timer settings to automatically add the contact token.
- For evergreen timers: {{contact.hs_object_id}} is added automatically when HubSpot is selected
- Copy the complete HTML snippet
Open HubSpot Email Editor
Navigate to Marketing → Email in HubSpot. Create a new email or edit an existing draft. The drag-and-drop editor will open.
- Works with Regular, Automated, and Blog/RSS emails
- Both Classic and new editor are supported
Add an Image Module
From the Content panel on the left, drag an "Image" module into your email where you want the timer. Click on it to configure.
- You can also use the Custom HTML module for more control
- Image module is easier for most users
Add Timer as External Image URL
In the Image module settings, select "External URL" and paste your SnapTimers URL (just the src URL, not the full HTML). Set width to match your email.
- For HTML module: paste the complete <img> tag
- Set alt text for accessibility
Preview and Test
Click "Preview" in the top right, then "Send test email" to verify the timer works correctly in real email clients.
- Test in Gmail, Outlook, and Apple Mail
- Check mobile preview as well

HubSpot preview may cache images. Send a test email to see the live timer.
Image appears stretched or distorted
Set the image width in HubSpot to match your timer width (usually 600px or less).
Contact token not working in evergreen timer
Ensure you're using {{contact.hs_object_id}} exactly as shown, with double curly braces.
