# Getting Started with the Rechat Plugin
To use the Rechat Plugin in Figma, run the plugin and connect it to your Rechat account to start publishing and managing templates.
Before you begin, make sure you meet the following requirement:
* A **Figma account** (both free and paid plans are supported).
**Step 1: Open Figma**
Launch the **Figma desktop application** and sign in to your account.
{% hint style="success" %}
You can use Figma either by downloading the **desktop app** ([Download here](https://www.figma.com/downloads/)) or by running it directly in your **browser** at [figma.com](https://www.figma.com).
{% endhint %}
**Step 2: Create a New Design File**
From the Figma start screen, select **Design** to create a new design file. This will serve as the workspace where you can build templates for Rechat.
**Step 3: Run the Rechat Plugin**
1. Inside your design file, locate the **toolbar at the bottom center** of the interface.
2. Click on **Actions**.
3. In the search bar, type **Rechat Plugin** and select it from the results.
{% hint style="warning" %}
The Rechat Plugin is supported only in Figma’s **Design mode** and is not available in Dev mode.
{% endhint %}
Once the plugin is launched, you’ll be ready to connect your Rechat account and start designing for export.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://help.rechat.com/appendix/brokerage-set-up/marketing-template-guidelines/figma/getting-started-with-the-rechat-plugin.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
