Yes, it is possible to have multiple countdowns on a webpage in Webflow, with each countdown having a specific date determined by the product CMS. Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Set up a Collection for your products:
  • In the Webflow Designer, go to the CMS tab and click on "Add Collection."
  • Create fields for your products, including a field for the countdown date (e.g., "Countdown Date").
  1. Add a countdown element to your webpage:
  • Drag and drop a Countdown Timer element onto your webpage.
  • Customize the design and styling of the countdown timer to fit your webpage's aesthetics.
  1. Connect the countdown timer to the CMS collection:
  • Select the Countdown Timer element and go to the Settings panel on the right.
  • In the "Target Countdown" dropdown, choose the data source that corresponds to your product CMS collection.
  1. Bind the countdown date to the countdown timer:
  • Select the Countdown Timer element and go to the Settings panel on the right.
  • In the "Target Date" dropdown, choose the field that contains the countdown date from your product CMS collection (e.g., "Countdown Date").
  1. Repeat steps 2-4 for each additional countdown:
  • Add more Countdown Timer elements to your webpage as needed.
  • Connect each countdown timer to the respective product CMS collection and bind the countdown date for each timer.

By following these steps, you can have multiple countdowns on a webpage in Webflow, with each countdown having a specific date determined by the product CMS. This will allow you to dynamically display countdowns based on the dates set in your CMS collection, ensuring that your countdowns remain up to date and accurate for each product.

Example CMS Collection Fields:

  • Product Name (Text)
  • Price (Number)
