What it does

Drives a content calendar end to end: it reads the next scheduled Airtable row, pulls the Figma frames referenced there, assembles the carousel, and stages the post with the row's planned caption and publish date so the calendar becomes the single source of truth.

When to use it

Use it when your editorial team plans posts in Airtable and links each row to a Figma design. It removes the gap between 'planned in the calendar' and 'actually queued to publish' without anyone manually exporting frames.

How it works

  1. 1A daily schedule check queries Airtable for rows due to publish that are still in 'Ready' status.
  2. 2For each due row, it reads the linked Figma file and frame range plus the planned caption field.
  3. 3The frames are exported in calendar order as carousel slides.
  4. 4The carousel and caption are staged to the social scheduler set to the row's publish date and platform.
  5. 5The Airtable row is updated to 'Staged' with the scheduler link to close the loop and prevent reruns.
