How to connect Figma and Apollo
Create a New Scenario to Connect Figma and Apollo
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 Apollo will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Figma or Apollo, 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 Apollo
Now, click the Apollo node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Apollo settings. Authentication allows you to use Apollo through Latenode.
Configure the Figma and Apollo 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 Apollo 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, Apollo, 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 Apollo integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Figma and Apollo (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 Apollo
Figma + Apollo + Slack: When a new file is added to a specific Figma project, the automation searches for the corresponding client project in Apollo and sends a notification to a designated Slack channel, informing the team about the new design for that client.
Figma + Apollo + Google Drive: When a new file version is created in Figma, the automation finds the corresponding project in Apollo based on a naming convention. It then uploads the approved Figma design to a specific folder within Google Drive, linking it to the respective client project for easy access and archival.
