How to connect AITable and Figma
Create a New Scenario to Connect AITable and Figma
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.
Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a AITable, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, AITable or Figma will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find AITable or Figma, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.
Add the AITable Node
Select the AITable node from the app selection panel on the right.

Authenticate Figma
Now, click the Figma node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Figma settings. Authentication allows you to use Figma through Latenode.
Configure the AITable and Figma Nodes
Next, configure the nodes by filling in the required parameters according to your logic. Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory.
Set Up the AITable and Figma Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring AITable, Figma, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the AITable and Figma integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between AITable and Figma (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect AITable and Figma
AITable + Figma + Slack: When a new record is created in AITable regarding design specs, a comment is posted in Figma on the relevant file, and a notification is sent to a Slack channel.
Figma + AITable + Google Sheets: When a new file version is available in Figma, it is recorded in AITable. Subsequently, the stats are recorded into Google Sheets.

- Sign in to your Latenode account.
- Navigate to the integrations section.
- Select AITable and click on "Connect".
- Authenticate your AITable and Figma accounts by providing the necessary permissions.
- Once connected, you can create workflows using both apps.
Can I automatically update Figma designs from AITable data?
Yes, you can! Latenode's flexible data mapping allows you to seamlessly update Figma designs with information from AITable, ensuring your visuals always reflect the latest data.
What types of tasks can I perform by integrating AITable with Figma?
Integrating AITable with Figma allows you to perform various tasks, including:
- Dynamically generate design mockups based on AITable records.
- Automatically update text layers in Figma with data from AITable.
- Create design variations in Figma using AITable data formulas.
- Manage and track design versions directly within AITable.
- Trigger Figma design exports when AITable records are updated.
How does Latenode handle real-time data synchronization with AITable?
Latenode uses webhooks and polling to ensure near real-time synchronization between AITable and other apps, minimizing delays and maintaining data accuracy.
Are there any limitations to the AITable and Figma integration on Latenode?
While the integration is powerful, there are certain limitations to be aware of:
- Complex Figma components might require custom JavaScript for full automation.
- Rate limits imposed by AITable and Figma APIs can affect high-volume workflows.
- Some advanced Figma features may not be directly accessible through the API.
