How to connect Figma and SOS Inventory
Create a New Scenario to Connect Figma and SOS Inventory
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 SOS Inventory will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Figma or SOS Inventory, 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.

Set Up the Figma and SOS Inventory 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, SOS Inventory, 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 SOS Inventory integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Figma and SOS Inventory (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 SOS Inventory
SOS Inventory + Figma + Slack: When inventory levels for a product in SOS Inventory are low, check the associated design file in Figma. Then, a message is sent to a designated Slack channel to alert the design team.
Figma + SOS Inventory + Google Sheets: When a new comment is posted in Figma on a product design, the file name, comment, and current inventory level from SOS Inventory are added as a new row in Google Sheets for tracking design changes and inventory status.
