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

To automate the cycling of Webflow tabs, you'll need to use custom code since native Webflow interactions don't support timed switching between tabs.

1. Add an ID to Your Tab Component

• Select the Tab Component in your Webflow Designer.
• Give it a unique ID using the Settings Panel, e.g., auto-tabs.

2. Identify Tab Links with Consistent Class Names

• Webflow assigns default classes like w-tab-link. You can use these or add custom class names like auto-tab-link.

3. Insert Custom Code in Page Settings

• Go to your Page Settings → Before tag section.
• Add this custom JavaScript (Webflow allows this inline):

<script>  setInterval(function() {    var tabs = document.querySelectorAll('#auto-tabs .w-tab-link');    var activeIndex = Array.from(tabs).findIndex(tab => tab.classList.contains('w--current'));    var nextIndex = (activeIndex + 1) % tabs.length;    tabs[nextIndex].click();  }, 5000); // Adjust interval in milliseconds (5000 = 5 seconds)</script>

• This script:
• Selects all tab links inside the element with the ID auto-tabs.
• Finds the currently active tab using the .w--current class.
• Simulates a .click() on the next tab every 5 seconds.

4. Publish and Test

• Publish your site to a staging domain.
• Watch the tab component cycle automatically at the interval you set.

5. Optional Enhancements

• Pause on hover: Add event listeners to pause cycling if the user hovers over the tab area.
• Responsive timing: Adjust the interval based on screen size if needed.

Summary

Add a JavaScript snippet in your Webflow page that uses setInterval() to click through tab links at timed intervals. Make sure your tab component has a unique ID and that your tab links follow consistent class naming for targeting.
