Question

Is it possible to run a Figma widget or plugin within an iframe that has been embedded on a website?


I understand that I am looking to create a node from a Figma widget without redirecting the customer away from my website. I have already embedded the Figma URL containing the widget on my website and created a plugin, but I am having trouble running the widget from the embedded iframe. I am wondering if this is possible and if there is an API that could help me accomplish this.

No it isn’t possible. The person above is using ChatGPT to generate nonsense answers.

Figma widgets and plugins can only be ran inside the Figma editor. Embeds are stripped-down non-interactive versions of the editor that only let you browse around without any interactions (other than prototypes).


Is it still real? because that’s basically how https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1227240932226133468/magicpattern-toolbox works

No, that’s not how it works. MagicPattern was created a very long time ago and the plugin was released later by the creator of the website.


Hey, I’m sorry, I think I expressed myself badly. I meant that they used to have a tool and today they’ve apparently integrated it via an Iframe through Figma, is that right? thanks for your reply.

I think I understood you correctly. This plugin & MagicPattern website don’t do any iframe integration.

There were no changes to this plugin today.
