Hello,
I want to set a variable when a “Scroll into view” trigger triggers.
How is that possible?
Thanks
Oliver
Hi Oliver,
The “Scroll into view” trigger in Webflow is designed specifically for animation controls when elements enter the viewport. While it cannot directly set variables, you can achieve dynamic content updates on scroll through alternative methods:
For variable-like functionality on scroll, consider using these approaches:
- Combine scroll triggers with show/hide animations to reveal different content
- Use interaction triggers to modify text, images, or other element properties
- Implement custom code using the scroll position API if you need more complex variable-based behaviors
For most scroll-based interactions, Webflow’s built-in animation system provides powerful capabilities without needing variables.
Hopefully this helps! If you still need assistance, please reply here so somebody from the community can help.
Thanks for the (auto) reply.
I would like to change a CSS variable when the trigger triggers.
So I can change for example the body background color and text color.
Hey @oliverhh ,
Assuming you have setup a Global variable for background color or text color and have mapped it in the Styling tab for the Body; you can setup an interaction for ‘Scroll into view’ and in the animation you can create an action called ‘Set variable value’ and change the global variable based on this trigger.
Are you facing any blockers in doing so?
