Step-by-Step: Import from Figma

​
1. Prepare Your Figma File

Design Guidelines:
  • Main frame = email container (600px width recommended)
  • Nested frames = sections (header, hero, content, footer)
  • Auto-layout for consistent spacing
  • Use web-safe fonts or Google Fonts
  • Consistent text styles
  • Clear hierarchy (H1, H2, body)
  • Tip: Migma handles font fallbacks automatically
  • Named color styles for consistency
  • Hex values for all colors
  • Consider email dark mode
  • Export at 2x for retina displays
  • Use fills or image fills
  • Placeholder images acceptable (you can replace)
  • Use component instances for buttons
  • Include button states if desired
  • Clear text labels

​
2. Share Your Figma File

1

Open Sharing Settings

Click Share button in top-right of Figma
2

Set Permissions

Choose “Anyone with the link can view”
Important: File must be publicly accessible or shared with Migma

​
3. Import to Migma
