CONTENT CREATION

Figma hero frame to caption-ready blog draft in Coda

When a designer marks a Figma frame ready, this exports the hero image, generates an SEO alt-text caption for it, and drops both into a new Coda blog draft row awaiting an editor.

What it does

Turns a finished Figma hero frame into the starting point of a blog post. It pulls the rendered frame as a PNG, writes a descriptive caption and alt text for accessibility, and creates a draft row in your Coda editorial doc with the image and caption already attached.

When to use it

Use it when design and content are separate teams and the handoff is slow. The moment a designer finishes a hero, the writer should find a ready-to-fill draft instead of chasing exports over Slack.

How it works

  1. 1A Figma frame status changes to "Ready for content" (webhook fires).
  2. 2The flow exports the frame as a high-resolution PNG via the Figma API.
  3. 3generate-image's vision captioning produces a short caption plus accessibility alt text from the rendered hero.
  4. 4A new row is created in the Coda "Blog Pipeline" table with the image, caption, alt text, and a "Draft" status.
  5. 5The assigned editor is notified in the row that a hero is ready to write around.
