# Figma plugin

Send any Figma frame to Kalpana. Layers, fonts, effects and auto-layout come across, and you mark which layers change per row.
Kind: design. Availability: live.

Designers keep working in Figma. The plugin sends the approved frame to Kalpana with its layers, fonts, effects and auto-layout intact, so nobody rebuilds it.

[Get the plugin from the Figma Community](https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1649087577515166236)

## Install and sign in

1. Open the Kalpana plugin from the Figma Community and run it in your file. It works in Figma and Figma Buzz.
2. Click **Continue with web**, sign in to Kalpana in your browser and pick the workspaces the plugin may use.
3. Copy the one-time code the browser shows, paste it into the plugin and click **Connect**.

## Send a frame as a template

1. Select the frame you want to use.
2. The plugin reads its layers, fonts and images.
3. Give the template a name and an optional description.
4. Create the template. It appears in your workspace, ready to connect to data.

Note: If the design uses fonts missing in Figma, the plugin asks you to install or replace them first, so the template renders as designed.

## FAQ

**Do I need a paid Figma plan?**
No. The plugin works on any Figma plan that can run plugins.

**What happens when the design changes?**
For small changes, such as a colour, spacing or a line of copy, edit the template in Kalpana. For a new design, send the updated frame with the plugin: it arrives as a new template, or as a new page of one, and your sheet's columns are matched to its variables by name.

**Does my marketing team need Figma?**
No. Only the designer uses the plugin. Your team fills, previews and generates in Kalpana.
