How can I pass a query param from one page to another using Webflow?

To pass a query parameter from one page to another using Webflow, you can follow these steps:
- Add a link or a button on the page from where you want to pass the query parameter.
- Set the link or button's destination to the page where you want to receive the query parameter.
- Append the query parameter to the link or button's URL using the URL query string format. For example, if you want to pass a parameter called "name" with a value of "John", the URL should look like this:
/destination-page?name=John
. - On the destination page, you can retrieve the query parameter using JavaScript or using Webflow's built-in CMS functionality.
Here's an example of how you can retrieve the query parameter using JavaScript:
// Get the value of the query parameter from the URLconst params = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);const name = params.get('name');// Use the retrieved value on the destination pageconsole.log(name); // Outputs "John"
Alternatively, if you're using Webflow's CMS, you can create a Collection field on the destination page and map it to the query parameter. This way, the value will be automatically populated when the page is loaded.
Remember to publish your changes for the query parameter passing to take effect.
By following these steps, you can easily pass a query parameter from one page to another using Webflow.
