To add a consistent emoji before a dynamic piece of text in a Webflow button without manually creating them for each instance, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a symbol: First, create a symbol in Webflow that consists of the emoji and the dynamic text. To do this, select the emoji and the dynamic text and go to the top menu. Click on "Symbol" and then select "Create New Symbol." Give it a descriptive name and click "Create."

  2. Edit the symbol: Double-click on the symbol to enter the symbol editor. Here, you can make any changes or adjustments to the positioning and styling of the emoji and the dynamic text. Once you're done, click outside the symbol editor to exit.

  3. Use the symbol in a button: Now, you can use the symbol in any button by dragging and dropping the symbol onto the button element. This will add the emoji and the dynamic text together as a pre-designed element.

  4. Connect the dynamic text: To make the dynamic text work, you need to connect it to a CMS or dynamic collection. Select the dynamic text element within the symbol and go to the right-hand sidebar. Look for the "Data" tab and click on it. Choose the appropriate field from your CMS or dynamic collection that you want to display in this button.

  5. Style the button: Finally, you can style the button as per your design requirements. You can change the background color, text color, padding, borders, and other properties to achieve the desired look.

By following these steps, you can easily add a consistent emoji before a dynamic piece of text in a Webflow button without having to manually create them for each instance. This saves time and ensures consistency throughout your Webflow project.
