To automatically close a modal in Webflow by clicking outside of it without using a close button, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the modal element in the Webflow Designer.
  2. In the right sidebar, under the "Settings" tab, find the "Trigger" section.
  3. Set the "Trigger" option to "On Page Load" or another option that suits your needs.
  4. Scroll down to the "Close Modal" section and select "Click Outside."
  5. Save your changes and publish your site.

Now, when the modal is open, clicking anywhere outside the modal will automatically close it. This provides a convenient way for users to dismiss the modal without having to locate and click on a close button.

Remember to customize the appearance and behavior of your modal to match your website's design and user experience requirements. You can apply custom animations, control the timing of the modal opening and closing, and add additional interactions to further enhance the functionality of your modal.

Overall, using the "Click Outside" trigger option in Webflow allows you to create modal windows that provide a seamless user experience and intuitive way to close the modal by simply clicking outside of it.
