The Figma connector indexes design files, FigJam boards, and comments from your Figma workspace.

​
What gets indexed

  • Design files - File names, page names, and document structure
  • Components - Component names and descriptions
  • Text content - All text elements within designs
  • Comments - Comment threads, replies, and resolution status
  • FigJam boards - Same content types as design files
Both Figma design files and FigJam boards are indexed. The connector extracts text content directly from TEXT nodes in your designs, making your copy searchable.

Indexing begins

Grapevine will begin indexing files from your selected teams. The initial sync may take time depending on the number of files and their complexity.

​
Permissions

  • All indexed Figma content is visible to all users in the Grapevine tenant
  • Admin permissions required for initial setup

​
Sync behavior

Real-time updates require a paid Figma plan. Webhooks are only available on Figma Professional, Organization, or Enterprise plans. If your team is on a Starter or Free plan, updates will only sync during periodic backfills.
  • Initial sync - Indexes all files from selected teams
  • Real-time updates - Via webhooks for file updates, deletions, and new comments (paid plans only)
  • Periodic sync - Runs periodically to catch any missed updates and sync teams without webhook support
  • Deletions - Deleted files are removed from the index automatically

​
Rate limits

Figma enforces API rate limits that vary based on your seat type and plan. The user who connects Figma to Grapevine must have a Dev or Full seat for acceptable performance.
Use a Dev or Full seat to connect. View and Collab seats have severely restricted rate limits (as low as 6 requests per month), which will prevent Grapevine from syncing your files effectively.

For the best experience, ensure the user connecting Figma has a Dev or Full seat on a Professional or higher plan. This provides both real-time webhooks and adequate API rate limits for syncing.
For more details, see Figma’s rate limit documentation.

​
Limitations

  • Real-time webhooks require Figma Professional plan or higher (Starter/Free plans use periodic sync only)
  • Rate limits may slow initial sync for large workspaces
  • File attachments and embedded images are not indexed (only text and metadata)
  • Only files from selected teams are indexed
