Visuals speak louder than words. That’s why we’re going to show you how to elevate
End of the year, release of a project, company anniversaries; there are many things to look forward to. And the best way to build excitement? You guessed it — counting down to those dates!
Creating excitement for upcoming events, product launches, or special offers is crucial for maintaining audience engagement. The Aura countdown macro in Confluence is designed to help you do just that. Let’s find out how!
Countdown timers are interactive elements that create a sense of urgency and excitement. They are perfect for highlighting important dates and events, helping to keep everyone informed and engaged. Whether it’s a product launch, a company milestone, or a special event, a countdown timer until that special date can make your Confluence pages more dynamic and engaging.
While Confluence offers various macros for content creation, there’s no built-in solution for countdown clocks. This can leave your announcements and updates feeling flat and lacking a sense of urgency.
But Aura’s countdown widget steps in to fill this gap.
Aura Content Formatting Macros, developed by appanvil, is a suite of powerful tools designed to transform your Confluence pages into visually stunning and highly functional content. With features like buttons, cards, panels, and expand macros, Aura allows you to create engaging and interactive pages with ease.
Aura’s countdown macro empowers you to craft engaging countdown timers in Confluence tailored to highlight upcoming events, product releases, or special offers. With an array of styles, sizes, and colors at your disposal, you can design the perfect countdown clock to generate excitement and anticipation among your Confluence users.

Keeping an eye on the clock until the release is important for everyone involved in the project in order to plan all tasks. But it is also interesting for those not involved and can increase the anticipation of the release of a new feature or product. Therefore, create a countdown timer on your product roadmap page. Add a short description of the upcoming launch and a link to a dedicated landing page for more information.

Boost team spirit and generate excitement for your upcoming internal hackathon by placing a countdown timer on the hackathon information page. Include details about the theme, prizes, and registration deadlines to keep everyone motivated.
