To trigger a Lottie animation in Webflow to start once the page has loaded, you can follow these steps:

  1. Upload the Lottie animation: Before you can trigger the animation, you need to upload the Lottie animation file to your Webflow project. To do this, go to the Webflow Designer and select the element where you want to add the animation. Then, click on the "Add Elements" button and select the "Lottie Animation" option. You will be prompted to upload your Lottie animation file.

  2. Add an interaction: Once your Lottie animation is uploaded, you need to add an interaction to trigger it. Select the element that contains the Lottie animation, and click on the "Add Interaction" button in the right sidebar. Choose the type of trigger you want to use, such as "While Page is Loading".

  3. Configure the interaction: After selecting the desired trigger, a new panel will open where you can configure the interaction. Set the animation trigger to "Affect different element" and choose the Lottie animation element from the dropdown list.

  4. Start the animation: To make the animation start when the page has finished loading, select the Lottie animation element and set the initial state to "Hidden". Then, set the animation to play when the "While Page is Loading" trigger is activated.

  5. Preview and publish: Preview your changes to see if the animation starts when the page has loaded. You can do this in the Webflow Designer or by publishing the site and testing it in a browser.

By following these steps, you can easily trigger a Lottie animation to start once the page has loaded in Webflow.
