Yes, you can generate a unique code for each construction project in Webflow so that clients can track the project status without needing to log in. Here's how you can do it:

Create a Collection: Start by creating a collection in Webflow to store information about each construction project. This collection will contain fields such as project name, status, description, location, etc.
Generate a Unique Code: Within the collection, you can create a field specifically for the unique tracking code. You can use a combination of letters, numbers, or even a randomly generated string as the code. To generate a unique code, you can use Webflow's built-in CMS features or integrate custom code if necessary.
Design the Project Page: In your Webflow project, create a dynamic template page for the construction projects. This template will display information from the collection based on the unique code provided.
Create Project Pages: Now, create individual project pages for each construction project using the dynamic template you created. Assign the unique code to each project page.
Set Up Page Protection: To ensure that only clients with the unique code can access the project page, you can set up page protection. This can be done by adding custom code that checks whether the code entered by the client matches the unique code assigned to the project page.
Share the Unique Code: Provide each client with their unique tracking code, allowing them to access and track the project status without requiring a login.

By following these steps, you can generate a unique code for each construction project in Webflow, enabling clients to track the project status without needing to log in. This method provides a secure and user-friendly way to share project information with clients.
