Video Tutorial: Use Airtable as a Figma text content library

This video walks through how to use Airtable as a Figma text content library using the CopyDoc plugin.

Structuring your Airtable with text snippets ​

To create a sheet, login to Airtable and click Create a base, select the Workspace you'd like to add it under, and then click Create.

The format of the Airtable needs to follow the structure of: each column of your first/header row contains the trigger names (for example, //expandme), with each text variant per snippet populating the rows underneath each trigger's column.

Adding your Airtable to CopyDoc ​

To add your Airtable content snippets in CopyDoc, click on the Integrations tab in the Content Library panel, then select the Airtable option from the platforms dropdown selector; then you need to add 3 fields:

Your Airtable Sheet URL ​

To create a sheet, login to Airtable and click Create a base, select the Workspace you'd like to add it under, and then click Create.

The Airtable sheet URL should look like this: https://airtable.com/appzkSCDvQhxjfrl3/tbl9Ug0eTNoZFX5ne/viwULclwtTCrQq4dR?blocks=hide

Your Airtable Personal Access Token ​

You can create a token from the Airtable Personal Access Token page.

Your Airtable personal access token should look like this: patCDDXkwmgP4CyJK.19aa66430076753f90aaf1b27ae0a4ddf14f445dce8add9bd539bcbefcbe35df

You'll also need to set the Scope to data.records:read, and making sure to include your Workspace that contains the sheet(s) you'd like to use, otherwise there won't be any permissions for the API to read the content from your Airtable.

Custom Airtable Label ​

You need to set a custom label (for example, My Airtable Snippets) to help you identify your Airtable URL when you use it.

Once you've added those fields, click the Add button to load up the content snippets that you can use in your Figma text layers.
