How to connect Figma and MySQL
Create a New Scenario to Connect Figma and MySQL
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 MySQL will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Figma or MySQL, 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 MySQL
Now, click the MySQL node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your MySQL settings. Authentication allows you to use MySQL through Latenode.
Configure the Figma and MySQL 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 MySQL 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, MySQL, 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 MySQL integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Figma and MySQL (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 MySQL
Figma + MySQL + Slack: When a new or updated row is detected in MySQL, indicating a design change saved to the database, post a comment in Figma to notify relevant stakeholders, and send a message to a Slack channel to inform the team.
MySQL + Figma + Jira: When a new row is added to a MySQL database, indicating a new design request, a Jira ticket is automatically created. The ticket will contain information about the new design request. The Figma file is connected to the ticket.

- Navigate to the integrations section.
- Select Figma and click on "Connect".
- Authenticate your Figma and MySQL accounts by providing the necessary permissions.
- Once connected, you can create workflows using both apps.
Can I automatically backup Figma design data to MySQL?
Yes, you can! Latenode automates backups with no-code blocks, ensuring your Figma designs are safely stored in MySQL. Benefit from scheduled, reliable data protection.
What types of tasks can I perform by integrating Figma with MySQL?
Integrating Figma with MySQL allows you to perform various tasks, including:
- Syncing Figma design tokens to a MySQL database for centralized management.
- Automatically creating database records for new Figma design components.
- Tracking design revisions in Figma and logging them in MySQL for auditing.
- Generating reports on design asset usage from Figma data stored in MySQL.
- Populating Figma designs with real-time data pulled directly from your MySQL database.
How can I use JavaScript with my Figma + MySQL Latenode automations?
Use JavaScript blocks in Latenode to perform complex data transformations or add custom logic, expanding Figma + MySQL integration beyond simple data transfers.
Are there any limitations to the Figma and MySQL integration on Latenode?
While the integration is powerful, there are certain limitations to be aware of:
- Complex Figma designs with numerous layers may impact workflow execution speed.
- MySQL database connection limits may affect the frequency of data synchronization.
- Real-time data synchronization between Figma and MySQL is not supported by default.
