Yes, it is definitely possible to add interactivity to each slide in Webflow! Webflow provides a powerful interaction system called Interactions 2.0, which allows you to create custom animations and interactions without writing any code.

Here's how you can add interactivity to each slide in Webflow:

  1. Start by designing your slide layout: Create a container element for your slides, and add individual slide elements within it. Make sure each slide is positioned correctly and set to "display: none" except for the first one, which should be set to "display: block" or another visible display setting.

  2. Set up the interaction triggers: Select the element or elements that will trigger the slide change. This might be a button, a navigation arrow, or even a swipe gesture. Go to the Interaction panel, and click on the "+ New Interaction" button.

  3. Configure the interaction: In the interaction settings, you can choose the trigger type (e.g., click, hover, scroll), select the trigger element, and define the interaction's action. For a slide change, you'll want to select the trigger type "click" (or any other appropriate trigger) and choose the next or previous slide as the target element.

  4. Add animations and transitions: Once you've set up the basic slide change functionality, you can enhance it with custom animations and transitions. You can animate individual slide elements, such as text or images, to create eye-catching effects. You can also add entrance and exit animations to give your slides a dynamic feel.

  5. Test and refine: After setting up the interactions and animations, don't forget to test your slides in preview mode. Make sure everything is working as expected, and make any necessary adjustments to improve the user experience.

By combining Webflow's interaction system with your creativity, you can create highly interactive and engaging slideshows that stand out on your website.
