Last updated on April 23, 2023 @ 8:25 am

Flow is a powerful tool that allows you to create interactive prototypes in Figma. It’s easy to get started with and you can use it to create all sorts of prototypes, from simple click-through prototypes to more complex, interactive ones. In this article, we’ll show you how to add a flow in Figma.

To add a flow in Figma, first, select the frame to which you want to add the flow. Then, go to the Prototype tab and click on the ‘+‘ icon beside the ‘Flow starting point‘ section to add the frame as a flow starting point.

To add an interaction, simply click on the ‘+‘ icon that will appear once you hover your cursor over the starting point frame.

From there, connect it to the element that you want to interact with.

This will open the Interaction details window where you can set up the type of interactions you want your flow to have.

Here, you can add all sorts of different types of interactions, including clicks, taps, drags, hovers, and so on.

PRO TIP: If you are not careful, adding a flow in Figma can be a very tricky activity. Make sure that you are well aware of the risks before you attempt to do so.

Once you’ve added all the interactions that you want, you can preview your prototype by clicking on the ‘Play‘ button in the top bar.

This will open up your prototype in a new window and allow you to test out all of the interactions that you’ve added.

That’s all there is to adding a flow in Figma! With just a few clicks, you can easily add interactive elements to your prototypes and make them come to life.

Conclusion:

Adding a flow in Figma is a quick and easy way to add interactive elements to your prototypes. Simply select the frame that you want to add the flow to then, go to the Prototype tab and click on the ‘+’ icon beside the ‘Flow starting point’ section to add the frame as the flow’s starting point.

In the Interaction details window, you can add all sorts of different types of interactions, including clicks, taps, hovers, and so on. Once you’ve added all the interactions that you want, you can preview your prototype by clicking on the ‘Play’ button in the top bar.
