Best Practices for Automating Content Migration from Figma to AEM

Question

Hello Community,

I wanted to check if anyone else has faced a similar challenge and how you approached it.

Scenario:

Our current workflow involves manually transferring content from Figma designs into AEM (lower environments such as QA).

After QA review, content is manually promoted into Stage and Production using packages.

In most cases, final content changes occur after QA (~almost every time), so we end up re-entering or updating content late in the process.

Mapping between Figma modules and AEM content fields/components is not always 1:1, which makes automation tricky.

Environment synchronization is another pain point — content often drifts between QA/Stage/Prod, and manual promotion is resource-intensive and error-prone.

Questions to the community:

Have you implemented or seen successful automation between Figma and AEM to reduce manual content entry?

Are there recommended plugins, SaaS tools, or integration patterns that help map Figma design elements to AEM components or Content Fragments?

How are others handling environment synchronization of content (QA → Stage → Prod) in a more automated way, especially on AEM as a Cloud Service?

Have you experimented with AI or rule-based solutions to assist with content mapping and migration?

I’d really appreciate hearing about best practices, lessons learned, or even pitfalls to avoid.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @olsalas711

Here are a couple of approaches to achieve your goal:

Direct Integration & Asset Export:-

This approach involves exporting text and other assets from Figma and placing them into the AEM Assets repository.

1. Select your desired text layers or groups in Figma.
2. Use the Figma to AEM integration or plugin** to upload these selected assets.
3. Upload to the destination folder** in your AEM Assets repository.
4. Utilize the exported text** as content within new AEM components or pages, potentially leveraging Figma to component AI tools for further development.

Using SyncCX (or similar tools):-
This third-party tool bridges Figma and AEM, streamlining the transfer of styles and text directly to AEM.

1. Apply styles and fonts to your text and design elements within Figma using SyncCX's pre-configured components.
2. Transfer these styles and font selections directly to an AEM DAM asset folder.
3. Leverage AEM's workflow system** to automatically convert the incoming styles into ClientLibs, making the text content accessible for authors in AEM.
