Event Item Header 4

At a glance

The community member is trying to use an Event Item Header 4 component on their CMS Event Template page, but has two issues they need help with:

1. Connecting the Countdown Timer component to the CMS Event data, as they have multiple records and need the timer to update for each individual record.

2. Associating the event title with the Email element, so that staff know which event the user is requesting a spot for.

In the comments, another community member suggests using a cloneable countdown timer component from Webflow, and adding a hidden custom field in the email form that can be populated with the event title from the CMS data.

Event Item Header 4

I want to use this on my CMS Event Template page - but there’s a few issues I’m not sure how to resolve:

1). Count Down Timer: I don’t know how to connect this to the CMS Event data I have. Can’t see any documentation on the Relume Webflfow Library for this component. Obviously, I have 20+ records, so if I used this - it would need to update the count down timer for each individual record.

2). Email element (as part of this component): How would I associate the title of the event (so staff know ’which event the person is wanting to go to) from the data set? Otherwise, the user is sending an email, requesting thier spot saved - but staff won’t know what event?

Hoping these are simple things to connec tto the CMS data, if anyone can help - it would be greatly appreciated!

Totally fair that we do not provide any kind of guidance on this component - I've added this to my list.

My initial search brought me to a cloneable for the countdown timer.

For the email - you would add a code embed within the form and add a custom field that is hidden and you could connect the value of this field to the CMS to auto populate with the title of the event. I can provide more info on this if necessary.
