Yes, it is possible to add custom code to trigger an interaction when a slider moves to a new slide in Webflow. Webflow's Interactions feature allows you to create animations and interactions on your website without writing any code. However, if you need to have more control over the interactions or want to trigger specific actions when a slider moves to a new slide, you can add custom code to your Webflow project.

Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Open your Webflow project and navigate to the Designer section.
  2. Select your slider element by clicking on it.
  3. In the right-hand panel, go to the Interactions tab.
  4. Create a new interaction or choose an existing one.
  5. Configure the desired animation for when the slider moves to a new slide.
  6. Next, click on the "Edit Triggers" button under the "When" section.
  7. In the triggered elements panel, select the slider element you want to use as the trigger.
  8. Scroll down and click on the "Add Action" button to add a new action.
  9. In the action list, choose "Run Custom Code" as the action type.
  10. Enter your custom code in the code field, which will be executed when the trigger is activated.

To write the custom code, you can use JavaScript to listen for the slide change event and perform actions accordingly. Here's an example of how you can achieve this:

$('.slider-element').on('slideChange', function(event){  // Your custom code here});

Make sure to replace slider-element with the correct class or ID of your slider element.

By adding custom code like this, you have full control over the interactions and can execute any desired action when the slider moves to a new slide in Webflow.
