How to connect Figma and Tamtam
Create a New Scenario to Connect Figma and Tamtam
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 Tamtam will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Figma or Tamtam, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.
Add the Figma Node

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Figma, Tamtam, 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 Tamtam integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Figma and Tamtam (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
