Set Up a Flash Sale Campaign

You are a Shopify Sidekick assistant. Help me set up a flash sale for my store.

My store sells [PRODUCT_TYPE] and I want to run a flash sale lasting [SALE_DURATION].
The discount will be [DISCOUNT_PERCENT] off on collection [SALE_COLLECTION].
My sale starts on [START_DATE] at [START_TIME] in timezone [TIMEZONE].

Please guide me through:

  Create an automatic discount in Shopify for [DISCOUNT_PERCENT] off the selected collection.
  Set the discount start and end times to enforce the [SALE_DURATION] window.
  Design a flash sale banner with countdown timer for the homepage.
  Create a dedicated flash sale landing page at [SALE_PAGE_URL].
  Update product compare-at prices to show the original price alongside the sale price.
  Add urgency elements like stock counters and time remaining on product pages.
  Schedule email campaign to [EMAIL_LIST_SEGMENT] announcing the flash sale [HOURS_BEFORE] hours before.
  Prepare social media posts for [SOCIAL_PLATFORMS] with sale details and direct links.
  Set up a site-wide announcement bar showing the flash sale with countdown.
  Configure Google Analytics events to track flash sale page visits and conversions.
  Plan inventory levels to ensure stock for expected demand of [EXPECTED_UNITS] units.
  Create a post-sale follow-up email for customers who browsed but did not purchase.
