Any suggestions on how to automate the cycling of 'tabs' in Webflow at a scheduled interval?

TL;DR

To automate the cycling of Webflow Tabs at a scheduled interval, use custom JavaScript. Here’s a simple approach:

Steps to Auto-Cycle Webflow Tabs

  1. Identify the Tab Links
  • Webflow's tabs use .w-tab-link for navigation and .w-tab-pane for content.
  1. Write JavaScript for Cycling Tabs
  • Use setInterval to switch active tabs at a fixed time interval.

Example

let currentIndex = 0;const tabs = document.querySelectorAll('.w-tab-link');const interval = 3000; // Change tab every 3 secondsfunction cycleTabs() {  tabs[currentIndex].click(); // Simulate a click on the current tab  currentIndex = (currentIndex + 1) % tabs.length; // Loop back after the last tab}setInterval(cycleTabs, interval);

Implementation

  • Add this script inside Webflow’s Page Settings > Footer Custom Code section.
  • Ensure the tab links have the correct .w-tab-link class for targeting.

Alternative

If you need more flexibility, consider Webflow’s Interactions with a timed animation, but JavaScript provides more precise control.

This ensures automatic cycling without user interaction.
