Yes, it is possible to add dynamic code to the header/footer of a CMS record in Webflow. Webflow allows you to use custom code in the header and footer of your site, including code specific to individual CMS records.

To add dynamic code to the header/footer of a CMS record in Webflow, follow these steps:

  1. Open your Webflow project in the Designer.
  2. Go to the CMS Collections panel and select the collection you want to add dynamic code to.
  3. Click on the Collection Template page to open it.
  4. In the Designer, go to the Settings tab of the right sidebar.
  5. Scroll down to the Custom Code section.
  6. In the Head Code or Footer Code input fields, you can add your dynamic code, such as JavaScript or HTML that uses CMS data.
  • Note: If you want to add code specific to a particular CMS record, you can use Webflow's dynamic embed feature. Simply wrap your code in a dynamic embed element and bind it to the appropriate CMS field.

Keep in mind the following considerations:

  • If you add code to the Header Code input field, it will be included at the top of the <head> section of your HTML document.
  • If you add code to the Footer Code input field, it will be included at the bottom of the <body> section of your HTML document.
  • Adding dynamic code to the header/footer of a CMS record can help you incorporate external libraries, tracking scripts, custom analytics, or customized behavior based on CMS data.
