To delay the Webflow slider animation and trigger an interaction before the new slide is shown, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the slider element: In the Webflow Designer, select the slider element that you want to add the delay and interaction to.

  2. Add an interaction to the slider: Go to the Interactions panel and click on the "+" button to create a new interaction. Choose the "Slider" trigger for the interaction.

  3. Set an initial delay: In the interaction settings, you'll see an option called "Initial appearance delay." This allows you to delay the animation for a specific number of milliseconds. Enter the desired delay time.

  4. Add the interaction steps: In the interaction timeline, click on the "+" button to add steps to the interaction. You can add various animation steps to create the desired effect. For example, you can fade in elements, change their position, or apply any other desired animation effect.

  5. Set the interaction trigger: To trigger the interaction before the new slide is shown, select the slide trigger in the interaction timeline. This will let you define the actions that occur before the slide changes.

  6. Customize the interaction: Depending on your desired effect, you can customize the animation steps within the interaction timeline. For example, you could animate a button to fade out, move, or change color before the slide transition.

  7. Preview and refine: You can preview the interaction in the Webflow Designer to see how it looks. Make any necessary adjustments to the animation steps or timing to achieve the desired effect.

By following these steps, you can delay the Webflow slider animation and trigger an interaction before the new slide is shown. This allows you to add custom effects and transitions to your slider that enhance the user experience.
