To make the auto-rotate function of the tabs in your Webflow site start when they are in view or trigger a click event on the first tab when they are in view, you can follow these steps:

Add an Interaction to your tabs: Go to the "Tabs" component in your Webflow project and open the "Interactions" panel. Create a new interaction or select the existing one.
Set a trigger for the interaction: In the "Triggers" section of the Interaction panel, choose the trigger that you prefer. For this case, you can use the "Scroll into view" trigger. This will activate the auto-rotate function when the tabs become visible on the screen.
Configure the Interaction for auto-rotate: In the "Animations" section, set up an animation to auto-rotate the tabs. You can use the "Rotate" or "Move" options to create the desired effect.
Add an action for the first tab: In the "Actions" section, add an action triggered by the same trigger as before, such as "Scroll into view". Choose the first tab element as the target of the action.
Specify the action details: Select a "Click" action type for the first tab element. You can then choose to perform an animation, show or hide another element, or any other action you desire when the first tab is clicked.
Customize and test: Adjust the animation settings, easing, and duration to achieve the desired effect. Preview and test the interaction to ensure it functions correctly when the tabs are in view or the first tab is clicked.

By following these steps, you can make the auto-rotate function of the tabs start when they are in view or trigger a click event on the first tab when they are in view. This adds interactivity and engagement to your Webflow site.
