Countdown, divider, spacer, HTML, and footer blocks

Beyond the headline content blocks, Chamberly includes utility blocks that handle structure, spacing, urgency, and legal compliance: Countdown, Divider, Spacer, Custom HTML, and Footer. They are small, but used together they elevate any email.

• Know your email’s pacing — spacers and dividers control rhythm.

• For Countdown, have an exact target date and timezone in mind.

• For Footer, have your physical address ready (required for CAN-SPAM compliance).

1. Drag any utility block into the canvas.

2. Countdown: set Target date, Label text, and Colors. The block renders a live ticking timer in real email clients that support it.

3. Divider: set Color, Thickness, and Style (solid, dashed, dotted).

4. Spacer: set Height in pixels (typically 16, 24, or 32).

5. Custom HTML: paste raw HTML/CSS. Use this for embeds or one-off layouts the builder doesn’t cover.

6. Footer: set Copyright, Address, and toggle Unsubscribe link.

7. Click Save changes.

• Use spacers instead of empty text blocks for vertical breathing room.

• Dividers between sections clarify pacing for long emails. Skip them for short ones.

• Always include the Footer block on broadcast emails — it’s legally required for marketing in most regions.

Do countdowns work in every email client?
Most modern clients support animated countdowns. Outlook desktop shows a static fallback image.

Can I edit the unsubscribe link?
The link itself is generated by Chamberly and cannot be customized, but you can adjust the surrounding label text.
