Creating CMS collection list in designer extension

App Developers Designer Extensions
1

I’ve figured out that the DynamoWrapper element preset creates a collection list. But I’m unable to connect the CMS collection to the empty list in my app. Is there any official or unofficial method to do so?

Hi there,

Collection lists in Webflow are powerful elements that display your CMS content dynamically. Here’s how to add and connect a Collection list:

  1. Add a Collection list element to your canvas
  2. Double-click the Collection list to open its settings
  3. Click the Source dropdown and select your desired Collection
  4. Add dynamic elements inside the Collection list item to display your content

The Collection item names will appear on the list item tags after you open the Collection in the CMS panel. You can then style individual items and add dynamic bindings to display your content exactly how you want it.

Hopefully this helps! If you still need assistance, please reply here so somebody from the community can help.

Hello, I’m not talking about adding collection list through the designer. My question is about adding a collection list element using a designer extension and webflow’s APIs. I’m able to use an element preset to add an empty collection list, but there’s no method to connect a collection to that list.
