Headless CMS provider launches design-to-component conversion and social login features to streamline developer workflows.

The Gist

  • Figma integration added. New functionality enables developers to quickly turn Figma designs into CMS components.
  • GitHub social login. Developers can now access Storyblok via GitHub credentials.
  • Accelerated workflows. Developer teams benefit from faster, error-reduced project launches and easier collaboration.

Storyblok launched two new developer-focused integrations this week. The headless CMS provider introduced a Figma integration that allows developers to import structured CMS components directly from design files, and GitHub social login functionality for simplified authentication.

According to company officials, these additions aim to reduce bottlenecks in the development process and help teams deliver projects more efficiently. The Figma integration specifically targets the design-to-development handoff, which can be time-consuming and error-prone.

These updates are part of Storyblock’s ongoing effort to improve developer experience and overall workflow efficiency.

Impacted Digital Experience Stakeholders

  • Development teams working with design-to-CMS workflows.
  • Organizations using both Figma and Storyblok.
  • Developers and IT teams seeking simplified authentication and access control.

The past few years have shown tremendous growth in headless architecture adoption across the digital experience platform landscape. Headless digital experience architectures offer team and deployment flexibility, often yield site performance improvements and typically allow customers to unshackle themselves from monolithic platform vendors.

Simultaneously, many DXP vendors are strengthening their platforms through strategic integrations with design, development and AI tools. These partnerships aim to streamline workflows between designers, developers and content teams, and keep pace with the many evolutions in the generative AI realm.

As AI transforms content work streams, properly structured content is more important than ever. The integration of design tools with CMS and DXP platforms are part of Storyblok’s ongoing effort to remove bottlenecks and help teams be more agile.
