How to connect Productboard and Figma
Create a New Scenario to Connect Productboard and Figma
In the workspace, click the βCreate New Scenarioβ button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node β a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Productboard, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Productboard or Figma will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Productboard or Figma, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Productboard Node
Select the Productboard node from the app selection panel on the right.

Configure the Productboard
Click on the Productboard node to configure it. You can modify the Productboard URL and choose between DEV and PROD versions. You can also copy it for use in further automations.
Add the Figma Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the Productboard node, select Figma from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within Figma.

Authenticate Figma
Now, click the Figma node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Figma settings. Authentication allows you to use Figma through Latenode.
Configure the Productboard and Figma 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 Productboard and Figma 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 donβt 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 Productboard, Figma, and any additional nodes, donβt 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 βRun onceβ and triggering an event to check if the Productboard and Figma integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Productboard 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 Productboard and Figma
Productboard + Figma + Slack: When a new feature is created in Productboard, a comment is added to a specified Figma file to notify the design team about the new feature for design input. A message is then sent to a Slack channel to alert the design team.
Figma + Productboard + Jira: When a comment is added to a Figma file, a feature is created in Productboard to track the design feedback. A Jira issue is then created to track the development of the design.
