Figma + Emergent

The Figma + Emergent integration lets you connect your design workflows to real-time automation and app building. Whether you want to sync your Figma designs with Jira, update Storybook components, test prototypes with Maze, or co-create content with Ditto or Canva, Emergent turns every Figma API integration into a production-ready app built entirely by prompt.

Emergent is not just an integration layer. It is a full-stack vibe coding platform that lets you build complete, functional applications from start to finish. You can design, automate, and deploy dashboards, tools, and internal apps that use Figma and other integrations like Jira, Notion, or Canva as connected building blocks.

With Emergent, you can create, connect, and deploy tools without writing a single line of code. Just describe your workflow in plain English, and Emergent handles the APIs, authentication, data models, and UI automatically.

About Figma

Figma is a collaborative design platform for teams to create, share, and iterate on digital products together. From UI design and prototyping to component libraries and developer handoff, Figma powers design systems for some of the world’s leading companies. With its powerful API, you can access design files, comments, and styles programmatically, perfect for automating and scaling your design-to-development workflows.

Why integrate Figma with Emergent?

Connecting Figma with other tools usually means writing complex scripts, managing API keys, and building backend logic to sync data. Each integration becomes a time-consuming engineering effort.

Emergent removes all those barriers. With Figma API integration on Emergent, you can connect Figma to tools like Jira, Storybook, Notion, Maze, and Canva instantly just by describing what you want to build.

Under the hood, Emergent uses MCP (Multi-Context Protocol) servers,  a communication layer that allows your application to talk to multiple services, APIs, and tools at once. Think of it like how a human collaborates with multiple teammates to complete a project: one handles design, another manages tasks, and someone else reviews content. Emergent does the same thing automatically, orchestrating your integrations behind the scenes so they work together seamlessly.

And unlike traditional no-code tools, Emergent does not stop at connecting APIs. It turns those integrations into complete, functional applications ready for real-world use.

For example, you can:

• Auto-sync Figma components to Jira tasks

• Generate Storybook documentation from Figma files

• Run prototype tests in Maze

• Update design copy in Ditto

• Convert Canva visuals into live Figma components

Emergent automates setup, deployment, and maintenance, so you can focus on designing, not debugging.
