Figma Buzz looks very promising for our team, but there are a few features that our team will need in order to use this product.
- Autolayout on the parent frame. Email graphics are a great use case for Figma buzz, but often times assets need to adjust in height based on the headline or copy length.
- Persistent linked data. If I click out of the import pane, all the text linking I did just disappears.
- Linking groupings of pages. A simple application is a card with a front and back side. The variable data might only be on one of the sides, but I’m still going to want to export the front and back for each card. I need a way of grouping the front and back as a single multipage document that applies to bulk creating assets and exporting them as multipage pdfs.
- Batch process using template based on data. For example, use the HR department business card template when the field in the “department” column is “HR” and the Finance department business card template when the field in the “department” column is “Finance”
- QR code generation. This is more of a nice to have, but would be awesome to be able to create a bunch of QR codes on designs with urls from a spreadsheet.
- Better handling for print documents overall. Things like color profiles, bleed, dpi settings, etc.
