Export Your First Design

Once the Rechat Plugin is connected, you can export your designs from Figma directly into Rechat. This allows you to publish templates quickly and manage them within your account.

Before exporting, you’ll need to prepare your design correctly. The Rechat Plugin requires each design to be placed inside a Frame, not a Group.

Frames can also use Auto Layout, which makes it easier to manage spacing.

Step 1: Create a Frame

You can create a frame in two ways:

• Press F on your keyboard and draw a rectangular frame on the canvas.

• Or, click the Frame tool in the Figma toolbar and insert a frame on your canvas.

Why Frames?

• A frame acts as the container for your template.

• Each design you want to export must be placed inside its own frame.

• If you need to update a template later, simply edit the design inside the same frame and update it through the plugin — no need to recreate the template.

Do not duplicate existing frames when starting a new design. Each frame contains unique metadata for its template, and copying frames may cause issues during export.

Instead, always create a fresh frame:

• Press F on your keyboard, or

• Select a preset frame from the list in Figma.

Step 2: Prepare Your Design Inside the Frame

• Place your design elements inside the frame you created (or use an existing frame if your design is already in one).

• Make sure all parts of the design are properly contained within the frame boundaries.

Frames act as the main container for templates, and the plugin will only recognize content inside them.

Make sure all design layers are inside the selected frame.

Step 3: Mediums and Aspect Ratios

With the Rechat Plugin, you can export both social and print templates directly to Rechat. The Medium dropdown lets you choose the type of template you want to export.

Currently, Rechat supports Social and Print templates. More mediums will be added gradually in future updates.

To ensure your templates work reliably, it’s important to use the correct dimensions and aspect ratios. For example:

• Instagram or Facebook posts → 1:1 (square) or 4:5 (portrait)

  

  Ensure a successful export by selecting the correct medium.

When exporting, the plugin will automatically check the selected frame’s dimensions and aspect ratio against the chosen medium:

• If they do not match, you’ll see a red warning message.

• If they match correctly, the plugin will display a green confirmation message.

Always make sure your frame size matches the aspect ratio of the medium you select.

Rechat Plugin alerts you when the aspect ratio is correct or incorrect.

Step 4: Add Template Information

Before publishing, fill in the key details for your template:

• Name – Give your template a clear, descriptive name.

• Tags – Add relevant tags to make it easier to find later.

• Description – Provide context or usage notes for your team.

• Category & Subcategory – Select the most appropriate placement for your template.

The Name and Tags are searchable in Rechat Marketing Center, helping you and your team quickly locate templates.

Fill in the key details for your template.

Step 5: Export and Confirm

Export the Template

1. In the plugin, click Export Template.

2. Rechat will prompt you to choose the accounts to publish to.

   • You can start with your personal account or a Marketing Committee account.

   • Account assignments can be updated later if needed.

3. After selecting accounts, click Export Template again.

Confirm the Export

• Within a few seconds, a confirmation message will appear indicating that your template has been successfully published.

• Go to Rechat, switch to the account you exported to, and navigate to the category you selected.

• Your newly published template should now appear in the Marketing Center.

Your template is now live in Rechat and ready to use.

Confirm export with the green success message after clicking the button.

Last step: Verify in Rechat Marketing Center

Go back to Rechat Marketing Center and ensure you are on the same account where the template was published. Navigate to the category you selected during export, and you should see your template listed and ready to use.

Your template is now published and available in Rechat.
