Yes, it is possible to have buttons on one page in Webflow that, when clicked, will take you to another page with a specific filter immediately applied. You can achieve this by following these steps:

  1. Create the button: Start by creating the button on the first page where you want the user to click and trigger the filter. You can use the Button element in the Webflow Designer and customize it as desired.

  2. Set the button link: With the button selected, go to the settings panel on the right-hand side of the Webflow Designer. Under the "Link Settings" section, click on the "+" button next to "Page" to select the page you want to link to.

  3. Add query parameters: In the URL field of the link settings, add the specific filter you want to apply by adding query parameters. For example, if you want to apply a filter for the color "red", you would add "?color=red" at the end of the URL.

  4. Create the filter on the destination page: On the destination page, you need to create a filter that will read the query parameters and apply the desired filter. This can be done using custom code or by integrating with a third-party script or plugin that supports filtering based on query parameters.

  5. Apply the filter based on query parameters: Once you have the filter set up on the destination page, you need to write code or configure the script or plugin to read the query parameters and apply the filter accordingly. This will ensure that when the user lands on the page from the button click, the specific filter will be immediately applied.

It's important to note that the process of adding query parameters and applying filters may vary depending on the specific plugin or script you are using for the filtering functionality. Make sure to refer to the documentation or support resources provided by the plugin or script to ensure proper implementation.

In conclusion, it is possible to have buttons on one page in Webflow that, when clicked, will take you to another page with a specific filter immediately applied. By adding query parameters to the button link and implementing the filter on the destination page, you can provide a seamless user experience with filtered content.
