We’re loving the new countdown timer widget for Hubspot CTAs. There’s one thing that’s preventing us from using this to replace our current 3rd party solution (Deadline Funnel).  
We need a way to set “evergreen” deadlines based on a contact’s action. For example, instead of setting a timer to end at a specific date, we set it to end 5 days after a specific action.  
I’m thinking the easiest way to do this is base it off a date property which is updated when that action takes place.
