How to connect Apify and Figma
Create a New Scenario to Connect Apify 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 Apify, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Apify or Figma will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Apify or Figma, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.
Add the Apify Node
Select the Apify 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 Apify 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 Apify 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 Apify, 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 Apify and Figma integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Apify 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 Apify and Figma
Apify + Figma + Slack: Monitors website changes with Apify by running an actor. Upon completion, the workflow lists file versions in Figma and posts a comment to notify designers of the changes via Slack.
Figma + Apify + Google Sheets: Tracks design asset comments from Figma, validates them with scraped data from Apify, and logs the validated information into Google Sheets for usage tracking.
