The Figma API unlocks the power to automate and integrate design workflows, enabling both designers and developers to extract assets, update designs, and manage files programmatically. By leveraging the Figma API on Pipedream, you can create automated processes that sync design updates with other tools, notify team members of changes, or feed design information into other parts of your digital ecosystem.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
figma: {
type: "app",
app: "figma",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.figma.com/v1/me`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.figma.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
},
})
},
})
Design Sync to Cloud Storage: Automatically upload new versions of design files from Figma to a cloud storage provider like Google Drive or Dropbox when a file is updated. Keep your assets backed up and accessible to team members who don't use Figma.
Project Management Updates: Trigger an update in your project management tool, such as Trello or Asana, when a Figma design file changes status. Ensure that project timelines and tasks are in sync with the design progress.
Slack Notifications on Comments: Send a message to a designated Slack channel whenever a new comment is added to a Figma file. Keep your team informed and quickly actionable on feedback without leaving their communication hub.
Figma uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Figma account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Figma and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Figma API.
Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
file_read
GET
https://www.figma.com/oauth
?
client_id={{oauth.client_id}}
&
redirect_uri={{oauth.redirect_uri}}
