Automatically Open a Plugin or Auto-load Plugin
Is there any way to trigger opening a plugin or auto-start a plugin in Figma?
For context, we have a project that requires opening, updating, exporting, closing different Figma document automatically. Each time a Figma document is closed the updater plugin is closed. Any time a document is opened, the plugin needs to be manually opened again. So this would break the whole automation.
Looks like 3 years ago someone asked this question and the answer was no at the time:
I similarly asked a year ago if auto-start plugins was possible, but at the time they weren’t:
Are there any other ways like deeplinks or CLI commands to trigger opening a Figma plugin, or alternatively, any way to keep a plugin open between document open / close states. Ideally with Figma Desktop, but we could work with Figma web as well if it’s possible there.
Also, simulating the keyboard shortcut for “Open Last Plugin” isn’t reliable since the user could have opened a different plugin in between.
Thanks so much
