Yes, it is possible to give the animation in a tab in Webflow two different triggers - one triggered by the tab being set to active and the other triggered when the animation is initially scrolled into view. Here's how you can achieve this:

Select the tab that you want to add the animation to and click on the "Settings" icon in the right sidebar.
In the tab settings panel, give the tab an ID by typing in a unique name in the "Element ID" field. This will be used to target the tab in the interactions panel later on.
Close the settings panel and select the tab content area.
Click on "Add Animation" in the top menu bar to open the Webflow animation panel.
In the animation panel, click on the "+" button to add a new trigger for the animation.
Select the "Scroll into View" trigger from the dropdown menu. This will ensure that the animation is triggered when the tab content comes into view on scroll.
Customize the animation properties and styles as desired.
Now, you'll need to add a second trigger for when the tab is set to active. To do this, go back to the interactions panel and click on the "+" button.
Under "Choose trigger," select the "Tab" trigger and choose the tab that corresponds to the animation you want to trigger.
Customize the animation properties for the tab being set to active.
Test the animation by previewing your site or publishing it.

By combining the "Scroll into View" trigger and the "Tab" trigger, you can create an animation that is triggered both when the tab is set to active and when the animation is initially scrolled into view.
