How can I filter dynamic lists in Webflow using a start date of "Today" to create automatically updating lists and pages based on date-sensitive content?

To create automatically updating lists in Webflow based on a start date of "Today," you can utilize the dynamic filtering features. This feature is useful for displaying date-sensitive content such as events or promotions. Follow these steps to set it up: 

​

1. Set Up a Collection with Date Field

• Create a Collection in Webflow and ensure you have a date field within your collection to store the start dates (e.g., Event Date).

​

2. Add a Dynamic List to a Page

• Drag a Collection List onto your desired page from the Add panel.
• Connect the Collection List to your Collection, ensuring it includes the date-sensitive content you want to filter.

​

3. Add a Date Filter

• Select the Collection List Wrapper, then go to Element Settings.
• Add a Filter under the Filter Settings section.
• Choose the Date Field you set up earlier.
• Set the condition to "is greater than or equal to" and select "Today" from the date options. This ensures the list always displays content starting from today's date onward.

​

4. Manage Sorting Order

• Choose to Sort your items based on ascending order by the date field. This organizes the list from earliest to latest dates.

​

5. Style the Collection List

• Customize the appearance of your Collection List items to fit the design and functionality of your site.

​

6. Publish the Site

• Publish your site to see the changes live. The list will automatically update with the passing of time as the filtered content changes.

​

Summary

By setting up a Collection List with a date filter condition of "is greater than or equal to Today," you can create an automatically updating list in Webflow. This allows your page to display items based only on content with dates from today forward, ensuring your site reflects the most current date-sensitive content.
