SEPTEMBER 2026  • NEW UPDATES

New in Postcards: Live Email Countdown Timers

Live Email Countdown Timers ( https://r.notifications.designmodo.com/mk/cl/f/sh/WCPzyXJTZ72ijGrgLw058sd6mEcvtVL8/Zh_JtjHTZjoZ )

Hello,
That timer isn't a picture. It's the new Countdown element ( https://r.notifications.designmodo.com/mk/cl/f/sh/WCPzyXJTZ7AVnJ4wi1Tkucmtv1W39CxG/-Kgg3PtIuXWY ) , built in Postcards email builder, and it's counting down to a date you already have circled: Black Friday.
We could have described how countdown timers work. Showing you seemed more useful. Everything you see above took about a minute to add, style, and point at a deadline.
Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and the Christmas rush all land in the same few weeks, and every one of those campaigns runs on a deadline. A countdown is the one element that makes that deadline impossible to ignore. Now is the time to build it into your templates.
Let’s review this month’s new releases in detail.
Countdown Timers
Every promotion has a deadline. Until now, showing it inside an email meant third-party tools, extra subscriptions, and code you had to paste in and hope for the best.
The new Countdown element puts it in the editor. Drop it into any template, set your end date, and style it like any other element: fonts, colors, spacing, and layout all match your design instead of fighting it.
Where it earns its place:

* Flash sales and limited-time discounts. A clock ticking toward midnight beats "offer ends soon" every time.
* Product launches and early-bird pricing. Show exactly how long the launch window stays open.
* Event and webinar registration. Count down to the closing of signups, or to the event itself.
* Seasonal campaigns. Black Friday, Cyber Monday, holiday shipping cutoffs, anything with a hard date.
* Cart and offer expiry. Remind subscribers what they'll lose access to, and when.

9 New Email Integrations
Your email should land in your sending platform without a detour through your downloads folder.
We added nine more integrations ( https://r.notifications.designmodo.com/mk/cl/f/sh/WCPzyXJTZ7IIrLID46xQgMwh3oPAOuZO/7d60kaRCH8vn ) this month: Moosend, Mailercloud, Sender, Mailjet, GetResponse, Postmark, Sendy, Mailgun, and Kit (ConvertKit). Connect your account once, then push finished templates straight across from Postcards.
Between these and the platforms already supported, most teams can now go from design to send without exporting a file at all.
AI Through MCP
Back in June we added MCP support ( https://r.notifications.designmodo.com/mk/cl/f/sh/WCPzyXJTZ7Q5vNVTQCR6S76UCbIHecBW/p4C_lJgUWepr ) so you could browse projects and export HTML from AI clients. This month it does considerably more.
You can now generate entirely new email projects and edit existing ones with AI, directly through your MCP integrations. Everything the AI Generator does inside the editor now works from Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT : describe a campaign and get a template, or open a project and ask for changes in plain language.
For teams already running work through AI tools, Postcards is now part of that workflow rather than a separate stop.

Set the Deadline. Show the Countdown. ( https://r.notifications.designmodo.com/mk/cl/f/sh/WCPzyXJTZ7XszPijmHumDrGHLOBOuJne/Ie6faxHaEwBY )

Looking Ahead

The Countdown element is the first of a set of dynamic elements we're building, so expect more ways to make emails feel current at the moment they're opened. We're also continuing to expand the integrations list and sharpen the AI Generator based on what you've been sending us.
Build a countdown into your next campaign and hit reply with how it performed. Real numbers from real sends shape what we ship next.
As always, thank you for building with Postcards.
Warm wishes, the Designmodo team
