In Webflow, is there a way to connect a specific portion of a sentence to CMS, rather than having to rewrite the entire block of text for a small change?
In Webflow, you can connect a specific portion of a sentence to CMS by using the Dynamic Embed feature. This allows you to link a specific part of a sentence to a CMS field, rather than having to rewrite the entire block of text for a small change. Here's how you can do it:
Identify the portion of the sentence that you want to connect to CMS. For example, let's say you have a sentence like "Check out our latest blog post for more information."
Wrap the portion of the sentence that you want to connect to CMS in double asterisks (
**). In our example, we would wrap "blog post" like this: "Check out our latest \blog post\ for more information."Select the wrapped portion of the sentence and click on the '+' icon that appears.
In the dropdown menu, choose "Add Field" and select the desired CMS field that you want to connect to. In our example, we would select the "Blog Post" field.
Once you've selected the CMS field, the wrapped portion of the sentence will automatically be replaced with a dynamic reference to the CMS field. In our example, it would look like this: "Check out our latest {{ Blog Post }} for more information."
Save and publish your changes.
By connecting a specific portion of a sentence to CMS using the Dynamic Embed feature in Webflow, you can easily update that portion of the sentence by making changes in your CMS, rather than having to manually edit the entire block of text.
This feature can be particularly useful when you have recurring content elements that need to be updated frequently, such as product names, dates, or blog post titles.
Example:
Let's say you have an article template and you want to display the author's name dynamically. Instead of hardcoding the author's name in every article, you can connect a specific portion of the sentence to a CMS field for the author's name. This way, you can easily update the author's name in the CMS and have it reflected automatically in all the articles.
