How to connect Figma and AITable
Create a New Scenario to Connect Figma and AITable
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 Figma, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Figma or AITable will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Figma or AITable, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.
Add the Figma Node
Select the Figma node from the app selection panel on the right.

Authenticate AITable
Now, click the AITable node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your AITable settings. Authentication allows you to use AITable through Latenode.
Configure the Figma and AITable 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 Figma and AITable 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 Figma, AITable, 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 Figma and AITable integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Figma and AITable (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Figma and AITable
AITable + Figma + Slack: When a new design spec is added to AITable, retrieve the file name or relevant information from Figma using the file ID. Then, post a message to a designated Slack channel to notify the design team about the new spec.
AITable + Jira + Figma: When a design task status changes in AITable, a new issue is created in Jira. The Figma file is linked as related documentation in Jira issue

FAQ Figma and AITable
How can I connect my Figma account to AITable using Latenode?
To connect your Figma account to AITable on Latenode, follow these steps:
- Sign in to your Latenode account.
- Navigate to the integrations section.
- Select Figma and click on "Connect".
- Authenticate your Figma and AITable accounts by providing the necessary permissions.
- Once connected, you can create workflows using both apps.
Can I automate design handoff information into AITable?
Yes, you can! Latenode automates Figma data extraction, populating AITable in real time. Benefit: centralized design data, streamlined workflows.
What types of tasks can I perform by integrating Figma with AITable?
Integrating Figma with AITable allows you to perform various tasks, including:
- Automatically updating AITable records with new Figma design versions.
- Tracking design changes and approvals in AITable for audit trails.
- Managing design asset metadata from Figma directly within AITable.
- Creating AITable records from new comments or feedback in Figma files.
- Generating reports on design progress and status directly from Figma data.
Can I use custom JavaScript code with my Figma automations in Latenode?
Yes! Latenode supports custom JavaScript for advanced Figma logic, exceeding no-code limitations. Add functionality, parse complex data easily.
Are there any limitations to the Figma and AITable integration on Latenode?
While the integration is powerful, there are certain limitations to be aware of:
- Complex Figma components may require custom parsing logic.
- AITable API rate limits may affect performance with very large datasets.
- Real-time updates depend on the frequency of workflow executions.
