Yes, it is possible to use jQuery or a third-party integration like Zapier to allow users to add favorited images from a collection to an enquiry form in Webflow. Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Set up your favorite feature: First, you need to set up a favorite feature where users can mark images as favorites. This can be done using jQuery or Webflow's interactions feature. For example, you can use a heart icon that changes color when clicked to indicate that an image has been favorited.

  2. Capture data with Webflow's collection: In Webflow, you can use the CMS feature to create a collection where you store all the images and their corresponding data such as image URL, title, etc. Make sure to add a field in the collection for favorited images.

  3. Capture favorite data: When a user clicks on the favorite button/icon, you can use jQuery or Webflow interactions to capture the data of that favorited image. This can be stored in a separate array or using custom attributes associated with the image element.

  4. Create an enquiry form: In Webflow, you can create a form that allows users to submit an enquiry. You can use Webflow's form element to create the necessary fields such as name, email, etc.

  5. Integrate with a third-party service: To transfer the favorited images from the collection to the enquiry form, you can use a third-party integration like Zapier. You can set up a webhook that triggers when the form is submitted and sends a notification to Zapier.

  6. Retrieve favorited images: Using Zapier, you can set up a webhook trigger that captures the submitted form data. In the action step, you can use JavaScript code to retrieve the favorited images based on the data captured earlier. This can be done by querying the CMS collection using API calls or by retrieving the favorited data stored in a separate array.

  7. Include favorited images in the form submission: Lastly, you can include the retrieved favorited images in the form submission by sending them as part of the notification or by adding them as custom fields in the form submission.

By following these steps, you can allow users to add favorited images from a collection to an enquiry form in Webflow. This gives them the ability to easily select and submit their favorite images for further inquiry.
