Design UX flows faster with AIPrompt to define your product. Describe what users see, do, and expect-Figma Make generates your UX flow automatically, mapping screens, states, and logic in minutes. Stay aligned from idea to build: capture flows, behaviors, and logic once-then hand off ready-to-build prototypes. Keep product, design, and engineering aligned.
Prototype with your real system for on-brand fidelity
Connect your design system styles or code components for on-brand prototypes that mirror production. Every flow looks and feels like the real product. Validate with real data: plug in live data to see how flows behave in context. Get feedback that’s grounded in real user experience.
How to generate UX flows with AI in Figma Make
Turn product ideas into structured UX flows by letting AI map sequences of screens, states, and interactions. The signup flow generator maps your ideas into organized screens and interactions automatically. Prototypes can be connected to your existing design system styles or code components for realistic, production-like flows. Tests use live data to reflect real signups, states, and errors-ensuring tests mirror reality. From prototype to production, generate ready-to-build code aligned with your component library to reduce rework and ship faster.
Tip! A flow is the network of frames and connections in a single page. For example: your prototype covers all possible interactions on an eCommerce site. Figma creates a flow starting point when you add your first connection between two frames. Note: A top-level frame can be part of multiple flows, but can only have one starting point. Frames nested within a top-level starting frame can have connections that navigate the user around multiple flows. Tip! You can create connections from multiple objects to the same destination frame at the same time-saving you time and effort when building out your prototype flows.
Key concepts: flow, hotspot, trigger, destination, action, transition
A hotspot is where the Interaction takes place. A flow is the network of connected frames that form a path through a prototype. Each flow has its own starting point. The starting point is the first frame of a flow. The trigger determines what type of interaction with the hotspot will cause the prototype to advance. The destination is where the transition ends. This must be a top-level frame-added directly to the canvas-and not an object within a frame. The action defines the type of progression in the prototype. The animation settings determine how the prototype moves from one frame to the other. A transition is the type of animation. The direction controls the direction that the transition comes from. The duration controls the time it takes to complete the animation. The shorter the duration, the faster the transition. Easing affects the acceleration of the animation-whether it starts slow or fast. Overlays are frames that appear above the current screen or frame. Overflow behavior defines how your prototype responds to scrolling. Choose the device orientation for presentation: portrait or landscape. A preview shows how something will look or work in the prototype.
Flows, layouts, and documentation: practical tips
Since 65% of people are visual learners, flowchart diagrams help make complex ideas easier to follow. Flowcharts break down a big project into a logical sequence of steps, so everyone on the team can see what happens when-and where they fit in. A flowchart reveals redundant steps and points of confusion, helping pinpoint areas for improvement. Flowcharts document your methods for future reference, so decisions are transparent and new team members can get up to speed quickly.
Common flowchart symbols include rectangles for steps or actions, lines and arrows to show direction, rhombus for data input points, circles for starting or ending points, and diamonds for decisions. To create a flowchart, you can use Figma’s flowchart maker or templates. Define your symbols, connect them with arrows, and add a legend. Polish your flowchart with a cohesive design and color scheme that matches your brand and accessibility standards.
- Title your flowchart to clearly state its purpose.
- Select a flowchart template suitable for your task.
- Define flowchart symbols and include a key for clarity.
- Connect symbols with arrows to establish a logical sequence.
- Polish design elements and ensure accessibility compliance.
Real-world usage: signing up flow and onboarding
Design and build flows from user stories to functioning prototypes. The signup flow example demonstrates mapping user journeys into structured screens and interactions automatically. Prototypes can reflect a production-like experience by integrating your design system and backend data. This approach enables you to test signup states, errors, and success paths with live data, making feedback more actionable.
From prototype to production, you can generate ready-to-build code aligned with your component library, reducing rework and speeding up launch. The workflow supports collaboration across design, product, and engineering teams, ensuring alignment from idea through to shipped product.

Practical workflow notes for teams
Use the flowstarting point concept to organize interactions and transitions. The left sidebar provides flow names and descriptions to document usability testing prompts or additional context for teammates. Sharing prototype flows allows stakeholders to review and provide feedback on specific user journeys, with playback in presentation view.
As you connect design to code, you can bridge the gap between design and implementation. The Workflow lab demonstrates deploying designs directly with Figma Make, allowing designers to connect a codebase, make changes, and bring the whole team into review up to the PR stage.
What to measure: time savings and effectiveness
Measuring time savings from Figma Make involves a research design that captures how AI-assisted UX flows impact productivity. The goal is to quantify efficiency gains and validate that flows reflect real user experiences.
Note: A top-level frame can be part of multiple flows, but can only have one starting point.
In summary, Figma Make enables rapid generation of UX flows, alignment across roles, and production-ready prototyping by linking design systems, real data, and code components into cohesive, testable, and scalable flows.
