To add an automatic link to your slider in Webflow when the page you want to link to is a single page within a collection, you can follow these steps:

  1. Set up a Collection: First, make sure you have set up a Collection in Webflow that contains the single page you want to link to. This Collection will act as the data source for your slider.

  2. Add a Reference Field: Within the Collection, add a Reference field that links to the single page you want to link from the slider item. This Reference field will allow you to select the specific page for each slider item.

  3. Design your Slider: Create your slider element on the desired page of your Webflow project. You can choose how you want the slider to look and the number of items you want to display.

  4. Bind Images and Content: Inside the slider, bind the images and content to the Collection you created. This will connect the slider to the data from the Collection.

  5. Add a Dynamic Link: Next, add a dynamic link element to the slide. This dynamic link will be linked to the Reference field you added earlier. Bind the dynamic link to the 'Current' page, which will fetch the linked page dynamically based on the data from the Collection.

  6. Style the Slide and Link: Customize the styles of the slide and the dynamic link to match your design preferences. You can choose the color, font, and other visual properties.

  7. Publish and Test: Preview your website in Webflow, and make sure the links in the slider are working as expected. Clicking on each slide should take you to the corresponding single page within the collection.

This setup allows you to create a slider where each item links to a single page within a collection. By using dynamic binding, the links will be automatically populated based on the data in the Collection.
