Brevo: use the dynamic markers around your embed

Brevo may cache static HTML in campaigns. Wrapping your countdown embed with %DYNAMIC% markers (opening and closing) tells Brevo to treat that section as dynamic so the timer image can refresh. If your account uses different syntax, follow the latest Brevo documentation for dynamic HTML.

Example (paste your real embed where the comment is):
%DYNAMIC%

<!-- Paste your Email Countdown Timer embed code here -->

%DYNAMIC%
Don’t add the timer as an Image URL in Brevo.
Image URL inserts can be cached/downloaded by Brevo, which can stop real-time updates. Paste the embed code into a Brevo HTML Block instead.
