How to connect Microsoft Excel and Figma

Create a New Scenario to Connect Microsoft Excel and Figma

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 Microsoft Excel, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Microsoft Excel or Figma will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Microsoft Excel or Figma, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Microsoft Excel Node

Select the Microsoft Excel node from the app selection panel on the right.

Save and Activate the Scenario

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

Most powerful ways to connect Microsoft Excel and Figma

Microsoft Excel + Figma + Slack: When a new row is added to an Excel table containing design specifications, a comment is posted to the corresponding Figma file. A notification is then sent to a Slack channel to alert designers about the update.

Figma + Microsoft Excel + Google Sheets: When a user adds a comment on a Figma design, the automation adds a row to an Excel sheet to track design hours. The Excel data is then summarized and updated in a Google Sheet for billing purposes.
