Webflow’s interactions now run on GSAP, which changes how we plan motion. Most reveals, staggers and parallax effects can live natively in the Interactions panel.
When to stay native
If an effect has a clear trigger and a timeline — scroll into view, page load, hover — build it in IX3. Clients can edit it without touching code.
When to write code
Velocity-based effects, custom cursors and page transitions still need a few lines of GSAP. Keep each one in a small, labelled block and document it for the client.
