You want to make a Webflow button directly call a JavaScript function similar to a custom code button. Here's how you can do it:
1. Set Up Your Webflow Button
- Create a button element on your Webflow canvas.
- Assign an ID or class to your button to identify it in your JavaScript function.
2. Add Custom Code in Webflow

3. JavaScript Function
- Define your JavaScript function within the custom code section.
- Example:
```javascript
function myCustomFunction() {
// Your function logic here
alert('Button clicked!');
}
```
4. Link Function to Button

document.getElementById('yourButtonId').addEventListener('click', myCustomFunction);
```
5. Save and Publish

Summary
To make a Webflow button trigger a JavaScript function, you need to add a button with an identifiable ID or class, set up the JavaScript function in the custom code section, and link the function to the button using a click event listener. This allows Webflow buttons to mimic custom code button behavior.
