How to connect Beamer and Figma
Create a New Scenario to Connect Beamer 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 Beamer, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Beamer or Figma will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Beamer or Figma, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.
Add the Beamer Node
Select the Beamer 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 Beamer 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 Beamer 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 Beamer, 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 Beamer and Figma integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Beamer 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 Beamer and Figma
Beamer + Figma + Slack: When a new design update is posted on Beamer, the automation retrieves the Figma file's version history and sends a message to a designated Slack channel including information about the new Beamer post and the associated Figma file versions.
Figma + Beamer + Jira: When a new comment is posted to a Figma design, the automation will create a new issue in Jira and create a post on Beamer announcing the new issue.
