Automator for Figma

Hi PH! Last summer, I shared an idea about a Figma plugin to build your own no-code automations to do repetitive design tasks. The concept was to make the Figma equivalent of Shortcuts for iOS. The challenge with Automator was to map the vast majority of the Figma Plugin API into a custom visual editor that let you automate almost any Figma workflow you could imagine. That's over 100 "actions" that have their own unique behaviors and edge cases. I wrote about building the plugin and automating Figma here: https://ibuildmyideas.substack.c... The private beta was ready by last November, and today, Automator is available for anyone to use.

I've enjoyed watching this evolution. Wen Automator read my brain?

Stoked for this launch — been watching this take shape and it's super exciting to see it ready for prime time. Can't imagine why Figma wouldn't try to acquire this — but I wonder if @jsngr is open to such an outcome?

Simply the best tool for Figma 👏

Congrats on the launch @jsngr, excited to try this out! 🤩

Automator is the tool you need If you have been looking to build a Figma plugin with no code!

Coool!
