Short answer

How can I change my countdown timer end dates using AI?

Tell your AI client to update a specific timer's expiration time using a natural language command. The AI uses the NiftyImages connector to push that change directly to your active assets. You'll see the updated countdown reflected in your live sale immediately.

The results of your request

Where your changes land

What happens after you send a command.

Updated timers

The update_timer tool pushes the new date to NiftyImages. Your countdowns reflect the new time instantly.

SYNCED

Asset alignment

The AI ensures the timer ID matches your existing sale. Your visual assets stay in sync with your sale schedule.

CONFIRMED

Execution status

Your AI client reports whether the update succeeded or if the timer ID was invalid. You get a clear confirmation of the change.

Manual review

If a timer ID doesn't exist, the AI can't find it. You'll need to check your NiftyImages account to verify the correct ID.
