* Optionally include a variable (e.g., @remindercountdown@) in your message template to dynamically reference the time remaining until the deadline. This allows you to personalize messages such as: "There are 5 days left until the deadline…" based on when the reminder is sent.
The system will automatically evaluate the current date, the deadline, and your specified time frame. If a reminder is due and conditions are met, the email will be sent. Emails are sent out at approximately midnight server time.
