Yes, it is possible to create a button that flashes continuously when hovered using Webflow. Here is a step-by-step guide to achieve this effect:

  1. Start by creating a new Button element in your Webflow project or select an existing button that you want to apply the flashing effect to.
  2. Give the button an appropriate class name by selecting the button element and navigating to the Class field in the right sidebar.
  3. In the Style tab of the right sidebar, click on the "+" button next to the "Hover" state to create a new hover interaction for the button.
  4. With the hover interaction selected, click on the "+" button next to the "Start" trigger to create a new initial state for the hover interaction.
  5. In the initial state, adjust the styling of the button to represent the first frame of the flashing effect. For example, you can change the background color, text color, or add any other visual effect that you desire.
  6. Next, add a new animation step by clicking on the "+" button next to the initial state in the interaction timeline.
  7. In the new animation step, adjust the styling of the button to represent the second frame of the flashing effect. This should be different from the initial state, creating a noticeable change. For example, you can change the background color back to the original color or revert any other styling changes made in the initial state.
  8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 as needed to add more animation steps and create the desired flashing effect. You can add as many animation steps as you want to achieve the desired frequency and intensity of the button flash.
  9. Finally, adjust the duration and easing of the animation steps in the interaction timeline to control the speed and smoothness of the flashing effect.

By following these steps, you can create a button that flashes continuously when hovered using Webflow. Remember to preview and test your design in the Webflow Designer to ensure that the flashing effect meets your expectations.
