Yes, you can integrate a Lightroom gallery onto a Webflow page and have it update automatically when new photos are added. Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Export your photos from Lightroom: First, you'll need to export your photos from Lightroom and save them in a web-friendly format (such as JPEG).

  2. Create a Webflow project: If you haven't already, create a new project in Webflow or open an existing one.

  3. Add a CMS collection to store your photos: In Webflow, you can use the CMS (content management system) feature to store and display your photos. Create a new CMS collection and add fields for the photo title, description, and image.

  4. Upload your photos to the CMS collection: Upload the exported photos to the CMS collection you created in the previous step. Make sure to fill in the title, description, and image fields for each photo.

  5. Design your gallery page: Create a new page in Webflow and design it to showcase your photo gallery. You can use Webflow's design tools to create a custom layout, add images or dynamic lists, and style them according to your preferences.

  6. Connect the CMS collection to your gallery page: On your gallery page, select the dynamic list or image element where you want to display the photos. In the "Settings" panel, choose the CMS collection you created earlier and configure how you want the photos to be displayed (e.g. as a grid or a slideshow).

  7. Publish your website: Once you're done designing and connecting the CMS collection, publish your website to make it live on the internet.

  8. Set up automatic updates: To make your gallery update automatically when new photos are added, you'll need to set up an integration between Lightroom and Webflow. Unfortunately, there is no direct integration available between the two platforms at the moment. However, you can use third-party services like Zapier or Integromat to automate the process. These services can monitor your Lightroom library for new photos and automatically trigger an action in Webflow to update the CMS collection.

By following these steps, you'll be able to integrate a Lightroom gallery onto your Webflow page and have it update automatically whenever you add new photos.
