How to connect Figma and Canny
Create a New Scenario to Connect Figma and Canny
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 Canny will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Figma or Canny, 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 Canny
Now, click the Canny node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Canny settings. Authentication allows you to use Canny through Latenode.
Configure the Figma and Canny 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 Canny 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, Canny, 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 Canny integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Figma and Canny (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 Canny
Canny + Figma + Slack: When a new comment is added to a post in Canny, the automation finds relevant Figma files and sends a Slack message to the design team, linking directly to those files for context and review.
Canny + Figma + Jira: When a new post is created in Canny, this automation lists related Figma project files. When the status of the post changes, a new Jira issue is created with a link to the Figma files for tracking and resolution.
