Can I use the Lottie integration with the Webflow CMS to dynamically fill a Lottie element on each individual CMS entry using a uploaded JSON file?
Yes, you can use the Lottie integration with the Webflow CMS to dynamically fill a Lottie element on each individual CMS entry using an uploaded JSON file. Here's how you can achieve this:
1. Upload Lottie JSON files: First, you need to upload your Lottie JSON files to Webflow. You can do this by going to the Project Settings, selecting the Assets tab, and then clicking on the "Upload" button to upload your JSON files.
2. Add a Lottie element to your CMS template: Open your CMS template where the Lottie animation will be displayed. Drag and drop a Lottie element onto the template canvas. You can find the Lottie element under the "Components" section in the Add panel on the left-hand side of the Webflow Designer.
3. Bind the Lottie source to a CMS field: With the Lottie element selected, go to the Settings panel on the right-hand side of the Webflow Designer. Under the Lottie settings, click on the "Choose JSON" button and select the CMS field that contains the uploaded JSON file for that specific entry.
4. Set up the CMS collection: Now, you need to set up your CMS collection and create fields for each entry that will hold the Lottie JSON file. You can create a "File" type field to store the uploaded JSON file in each CMS entry.
5. Populate the CMS entries: Go to the Collections panel in the Webflow Designer, select your CMS collection, and then add or edit individual entries. For each entry, upload the corresponding Lottie JSON file to the "File" field you created in step 4.
6. Preview and test: Finally, you can preview changes to your CMS template to see the Lottie animation dynamically filled with the uploaded JSON file for each CMS entry. Publish your site to make these changes live.
By following these steps, you can leverage the power of the Webflow CMS to dynamically populate Lottie animations using uploaded JSON files. This allows you to have unique Lottie animations for each CMS entry, enhancing the dynamic and interactive nature of your website.
