Automatic switching between slider images in Webflow CMS-based slider

Yes, Webflow allows for automatic switching between slider images on a CMS-based slider. Here's how you can achieve this:

1. Create a slider: Start by adding a Slider component to your Webflow project. You can find the Slider component in the Elements panel on the right side of the designer interface. Drag and drop the slider onto your desired page.

2. Add CMS collection: To enable automatic switching, you need to connect your CMS collection to the slider. Go to the Collections panel and create a new collection or choose an existing one. Make sure the collection has an image field that will be used as the slider images.

3. Connect slider to CMS collection: With the slider selected, go to the Settings panel on the right side of the designer interface. Under the "Slider Settings" section, choose the "CMS" option. Then, select the CMS collection you want to use for the slider.

4. Design the slider: Customize the appearance of your slider by adjusting the settings in the Design and Typography panels. You can choose different layouts, transitions, and styles for your slides.

5. Enable autoplay: To enable automatic switching between slider images, turn on the "Autoplay" option in the Slider settings. You can set the duration between slide transitions and choose whether to pause the autoplay on hover.

6. Publish your website: Once you're satisfied with the design and settings of your slider, publish your website. The slider will now automatically switch between images from your CMS collection based on the defined autoplay settings.

Note: Automatic switching between slider images is available in Webflow's CMS plan.

5. Set up the interaction: After configuring the gesture, you'll be able to set up the desired interaction that occurs when the gesture is triggered. This could be navigating to a different page, scrolling, fading elements, or any other desired effect.

6. Preview and publish: Once you've set up the page transitions and configured the wipe gesture, preview your website in the Webflow designer to test the functionality. Make sure to also test it on actual touch-enabled devices. When you're satisfied, publish your website.

Note: Smooth page transitions and gestures are only available on Webflow's paid plans.
