Yes, it is possible to code a feature in Webflow where users can download their invoices from a specific link field. To achieve this, you would need to follow these steps:

  1. Create a link field: Start by creating a new field in your Webflow CMS collection that will store the link to the invoice file. For example, you can name the field "Invoice Link" and set its type to "URL".

  2. Upload invoice files: Next, you need to upload the invoice files to your Webflow project. You can do this by going to the Assets panel and selecting the "Upload File" button. Upload all the invoice files and make sure to remember the respective file names.

  3. Add the link field to your CMS template: Go to your CMS template page where you want the users to be able to download their invoices. Drag and drop a link block element onto the page and connect it to the "Invoice Link" field in the CMS using the "Add field connection" option in the Settings panel.

  4. Insert dynamic link: With the link block element selected, go to the Link settings in the right-hand sidebar and choose "Get text from" option. Select the "Invoice Link" field from the CMS collection. This will dynamically populate the link with the invoice URL from the CMS.

  5. Customize the link text: You can also customize the text that will be displayed for the download link. You can do this by inserting a dynamic text element within the link block and connecting it to another field in the CMS, such as "Invoice Number" or "Customer Name".

  6. Style the download link: Finally, you can style the download link as per your design requirements using Webflow's built-in design tools.

By following these steps, you can code a feature in Webflow where users can download their invoices from a specific link field. This provides a user-friendly experience and allows your customers to easily access and download their invoices.
