Is it possible to trigger animations on Webflow natively, or would I need to use custom code to create the scroll and hover animations for the progress bars?

It is possible to trigger animations on Webflow natively using their built-in animation features. You do not necessarily need to use custom code to create scroll and hover animations for the progress bars. Here's how you can achieve it:

Scroll animations:

  1. Select the progress bar element you want to animate.
  2. In the Interactions tab of the right sidebar, click on the "+" button to create a new interaction.
  3. Choose the Scroll trigger from the dropdown menu.
  4. Define the start and end points for the animation, specifying the scroll position at which you want the animation to start and end.
  5. Set the animation properties, such as opacity, width, or height changes.
  6. Customize the animation duration, easing, and delay if desired.
  7. Repeat the above steps for any other scroll animations you want to add to your progress bars.

Hover animations:

  1. Select the progress bar element you want to animate.
  2. In the Interactions tab of the right sidebar, click on the "+" button to create a new interaction.
  3. Choose the Hover trigger from the dropdown menu.
  4. Define the hover in and out states for the animation.
  5. Set the animation properties for each state, such as opacity, width, or height changes.
  6. Customize the animation duration, easing, and delay if desired.
  7. Repeat the above steps for any other hover animations you want to add to your progress bars.

By following these steps, you can easily create scroll and hover animations for your progress bars directly within the Webflow platform. This eliminates the need for custom code, making it accessible to users with varying levels of coding knowledge.
