Coda is a new doc for teams. Build Coda docs that run meetings, track big launches, or help you remember when to water the plants.
Coda comes with a set of building blocks you can use to build a tool that evolves with the needs of your team:
- Add sections and folders for infinite structure
- Create tables that talk to each other
- Create buttons that connect with other applications
There are two ways you can use Coda and Figma together:
- Figma Live Embeds: Bring your live public or private Figma frames into any Coda doc.
- Figma's Coda Pack: Get an even deeper experience with your Figma files. Push and pull important information, like changes to files or new comments.
Embed Figma files and prototypes
Figma Live Embeds allow you to add live Figma files or prototypes into other websites or apps. Add links to Figma files anywhere in Coda to reveal the latest and greatest frames.
Coda supports private or public embeds, so you can collaborate with your team, or share with the world. Collaborators can interact with embeds based on:
To embed a file in Coda:
- Open the Coda doc you want to add the embed to
- Type
/Figma
in the Coda canvas and select the Media option:

- Coda will display the embed alongside the contents of the your Coda doc.
- You can now view the file or prototype in Coda. Learn how to interact with File embeds and Prototype embeds.
Tip! You can also paste a Figma link directly into the canvas. Coda will open a modal that allows you to choose a Display as option.
Select Embed from the options.

Install the Figma Pack
Packs connect Coda to other products, like Figma. With Figma Packs you can add Figma data to:
- Tables: Import live data around Figma files and projects.
- Embeds: Import live Figma mocks into your doc.
- Buttons: Use buttons to send comments back to Figma.
To start using Coda and Figma, you need to add the Figma Pack to your Coda doc.
You can connect more than one Figma account to your Coda doc. As part of that process you'll need to decide who can view and interact with data from Figma.
- Click Explore in the top-right corner and select Packs from the menu:

- Select Figma from the list of available Packs. This will open a pop up over your current doc.
- Click the Sign in to install button.
- Grant Coda access to your Figma account. Click Allow access to confirm.
Note: This will only allow Coda to have read access to your files, as well as your name, email, and profile picture.
- Select who can view Figma data in the Coda doc. Choose from:
- You and anyone this doc is shared with (Recommended): Anyone with access to this Coda doc will be able to view Figma data.
- Nobody: Nobody will be able to view Figma data in this Coda doc.
- Select who can take actions in Figma from the Coda doc. Choose from:
- Nobody: This will still allow other people on the doc to view Figma data, but not interact with it. Choose this option if you don't want anyone else in the doc to be able to interact with the file in Figma.
- Only you: Collaborators will need to access the file via their own Figma login to interact with the file. Choose this option if you want people to interact with the file under their own Figma account.
- Anyone this doc is shared with: Everyone can interact with the file in Coda, but they will need to sign in under the same Figma account. Choose this option if you are comfortable with letting anyone on the doc take action on the file.
