Plugin setup

Set up Storyblast in Figma

Storyblast is currently distributed directly by Storyblast, not through an approved Figma Community listing. Download the plugin package, import its manifest, then finish account linking and local bridge setup.

Download the plugin package

After purchase, download the Storyblast plugin bundle from your Storyblast account, unzip it on your machine, and keep the folder available locally so Figma desktop can import the manifest.

This download requires an active Storyblast purchase.

Download plugin zip

Requirements

01

Figma desktop app on macOS or Windows

02

An active Storyblast purchase on storyblastai.com

03

The same Storyblast account inside the plugin

04

A local Codex bridge available at http://localhost:8787

Install flow

  1. Download storyblast-figma-plugin.zip and unzip it on your machine.
  2. Open Figma desktop and go to Plugins > Development > Import plugin from manifest....
  3. Select the manifest.json file inside the unzipped Storyblast plugin folder, then run Storyblast from the Development plugins menu.
  4. Choose Sign in to Storyblast and complete the browser confirmation with the same account that completed checkout.
  5. Start the local bridge on your machine and confirm http://localhost:8787 is reachable.
  6. Back in the plugin, use Check bridge. If ChatGPT or Codex auth is still missing, choose Login ChatGPT and finish the browser flow.
  7. Once account link, bridge reachability, and AI auth are all green, return to Generate and create your first post batch.

Important note about the bridge

Storyblast v1 uses a local Codex bridge for generation instead of a hosted generation endpoint. That means the plugin is currently best suited to users who are comfortable running a local helper process on the same machine as Figma.

If you are operating from this repo, the bridge command is pnpm run social:bridge. If you need help confirming bridge setup, contact support@storyblastai.com.

Troubleshooting

  • Cannot find the manifest: make sure you fully unzipped the plugin download before importing it.
  • Account mismatch: sign in with the checkout email.
  • Bridge offline: verify localhost:8787 is live.
  • Auth stuck: rerun Check bridge after browser login.
  • Still blocked: contact support@storyblastai.com.
