Realization of an agent for Figma

Questions
1

Hello,

I have not much knowledge in the technical field and since everyone speaks well of this n8n platform as a no-code platform, it occurred to me to try to make an agent for manipulating my design system present on Figma platform via their REST API Figma RESTful API.
How should I start in your opinion? By making the connectors and then adding conversational triggers on top of it?
Thank you all.

Hi,

If you are new to all of this I would recommend, to start with the tutorials and build, check out the pre-made workflows and create some simple workflows, before you dive in head first.

Knowledge is power and it will save time in the long run.

Thanks for the advice.
So maybe I would start with making simple connectors via HTTP Request with RESTful API protocol.
Could you point me in the direction of some ready-made templates to try out or show me the way in general?

Hi, It seems that currently there’s only the webhook part of figma (in beta) available. one example of such would be Automate Figma Versioning and Jira Updates with n8n Webhook Integration | n8n workflow template
for the rest, of the functionality you indeed depend on http requests or develop (or have a) custom node developed. For pure http requests there are many examples over here: Discover 1580 Automation Workflows from the n8n's Community
Unfortunately/Specifically for Figma, i cannot find much to be honest.

Thanks for the advice.

I am trying to analyse, on your advice, a similar example. I found this: CoinMarketCap Telegram Price Bot | n8n workflow template which seems interesting to me because it uses an API_KEY via header.
Only, looking at the project source, it is not clear to me how to make a RESTful API call configuration via API-KEY :expressionless:

Hi, well every API is different so you would need to study the figma API to understand what it expects to receive. If you need/want integration help there’s always the n8n experts route, which could help you with such an implementation. I’m sure n8n has a list somewhere.
