Getting Started#

This integration creates a workflow with a Figma trigger and Python action. When you configure and deploy the workflow, it will run on Pipedream's servers 24x7 for free.

Select this integration
Configure the New Comment (Instant) trigger
1. Configure alert
2. Connect your Figma account
Configure the Run Python Code action
1. Connect your Python account
Deploy the workflow
Send a test event to validate your setup
Turn on the trigger

Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Figma Overview#

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.

};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Figma	`figmaApp`	`app`	This component uses the Figma app.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.

Trigger Authentication#

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

About Figma#

Python Overview#

Develop, run and deploy your Python code in Pipedream workflows. Integrate seamlessly between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and manipulate files within a workflow

This includes installing PyPI packages, within your code without having to manage a requirements.txt file or running pip.

Below is an example of using Python to access data from the trigger of the workflow, and sharing it with subsequent workflow steps:
