Bulk upload images not working on Figma Buzz

Taher Vohra

So here is what I am trying to do. I have mailer in which there is no change in the content but there is an image with a QR code. Now I have to add 10 different QR codes.

For that I am following below steps:

  1. Generate QR codes as PNG
  2. Add those PNG in an excel file, ensuring each image is paste in a cell (as per the guidelines)
  3. On Figma Buzz, in the bulk create I uploaded the file
  4. After uploading, it shows the column but content is been shown as text (Refer screenshot)
  5. When I select an image the data field remains disabled, but when I select a text layer it gets enabled and when I create assets it just adds text Object

I have tried the same with google sheets but facing the same issue.

Hi ​@Taher Vohra ​@AlexFabuel ​@Tidiane Bazile ,

 

Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention! Our product team confirmed this was indeed an unexpected behavior and has deployed a fix. The issue should now be resolved.

Could you please reload your tabs and try uploading again? I've tested this on my end and can confirm it's working normally now

 

If you're still experiencing any problems after reloading, please let me know.

 

Thanks for your feedback!

Would you be able to share the google sheets file with me for us to investigate? (azhong@figma.com). We were aware of the bug in Microsoft Excel and have addressed it with the update on last Friday. Can you try again and let us know if you are still experiencing it? Thanks!

Hi ​@Dipendra Timalsina 

Thanks for checking again. If you still see the issue, could you double check the comment below please? Thanks!

​@y_toku I am experiencing the same problem!

I have a simple layout, with ‘title’, ‘text’ and ‘image’, and a .csv with matching columns. In ‘bulk create’ I am able to map the two text fields, but when selecting the image, the option to map is disabled.

My image placeholder is a frame with a single image fill.

My target image is a direct url.

Any help much appreciated! Thanks!

Edit to add: I have also tried using an .xlsx file and get the same problem.

Another edit: I have found that if I insert the image in the cell in my google sheet, then export as a .xlsx this resolves the issue! So you have to insert the image into the spreadsheet rather than using a url.

Hi ​@melociraptor 

 

Thanks for the update! Yeah, I should have clarified that image uploads are only supported in XLSX file types—if your data includes images, export it as an XLSX file before uploading it to Figma Buzz.

Thanks again!
