What can a bot do in Figma?
Design work produces a trail of files and feedback that is hard to keep track of. A bot can find what you need and turn comments into a to-do list.
- Find files. Locate the file or project for a client or a feature.
- Read comments. List open comments on a file and who made them.
- Summarise feedback. Group comments into themes and a short action list.
- Reply to comments. Draft replies for you to approve.
- Fetch frames. Get a frame or an image from a file so it can go into a document or a post.
- Hand off. Collect the links and notes for a developer in one message.
What can you ask a bot to do in Figma?
These are the kinds of requests that work well. Type them in the app, or send them from your phone on Telegram.
- "Find the Checkout redesign file."
- "List open comments on the onboarding screens."
- "Turn the feedback on this file into a checklist."
- "Get the hero frame from the landing page file and put it in the Launch doc."
- "Draft a reply to the comment about the button colour."
How do you connect Figma to AppuBot?
- Open AppuBot on your computer.
- Click Connect apps in the sidebar to open the Apps page.
- Sign in once in your browser. This links AppuBot to your own account for connected apps, and you only do it the first time.
- Find Figma on the page and connect it. Your browser opens Figma's own sign-in and consent screen, and you approve it there.
- Switch Figma on for the bots that may use it. Each bot has its own switch, so a bot you did not choose never touches it.
The same Apps page lists about 1,700 other apps. Connecting one app once makes it available to every bot you allow.
Will it ask before it changes things in Figma?
Posting comments and making changes are visible to your team, so on "Approve for me" the bot shows what it will post. Finding files and reading comments goes ahead. Canvas edits by computer use are asked about as the bot goes.
This follows the bot's permission choice. On "Approve for me" the bot asks before it acts in your account, and it waits as long as you take. Reads and searches go ahead without a question. On "Full access" it acts without asking, so keep that for bots you trust with the app. More in Approvals.
