How to connect Figma and Converter
Create a New Scenario to Connect Figma and Converter
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 Converter will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Figma or Converter, 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 Converter
Now, click the Converter node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Converter settings. Authentication allows you to use Converter through Latenode.
Configure the Figma and Converter 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 Converter 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, Converter, 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 Converter integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Figma and Converter (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 Converter
Figma + Converter + Google Drive: When a new file version is created in Figma, it is converted to a PDF using the Converter and then uploaded to a specified folder in Google Drive for archiving and easy client sharing.
Figma + Converter + Slack: When a new file version is created in Figma, it is converted to a specific format using the Converter and a notification is sent to a designated Slack channel, informing the design team of the conversion.
