How Do I Make a Button Clickable in Figma?

In Figma, making a button clickable is relatively straightforward. The first step is to select the object you want to use as a button and give it the appropriate properties.

You will need to assign it an action, such as going to a specific page or performing an action within Figma. You can do this by selecting the ‘Interactions’ tab in the right-hand panel.

Then, you can choose between two types of interactions: ‘Actions’ and ‘Gestures’. Actions are triggered when you click on the object, whereas Gestures are triggered when you hover over or drag across the object. Depending on what type of interaction you choose, you can further customise your button by selecting from a range of events and conditions.

To make the button look like one, you will need to style it appropriately. You can do this by selecting the ‘Styles’ tab in the right-hand panel and choosing a color scheme or other styling options such as gradients or shadows. If your button is part of a UI component, such as a navigation bar or form field, then you may want to make use of Figma’s component library which provides pre-designed elements that are ready for use in your design.

Finally, if your button has text associated with it then you will need to add that too. This can be done through the ‘Text’ tab in the right-hand panel where you can add any text content that is relevant for your button.

Making a button clickable in Figma requires some steps but is not overly complicated once familiarised with its features and tools. By properly assigning actions, styling accordingly and adding relevant text content; users should easily be able to create interactive buttons within their designs with minimal effort.

Conclusion: Making a clickable button in Figma is an easy process once users become familiarised with its features and tools available for them to do so. Through assigning actions to an object, styling it appropriately and adding relevant text content; users can quickly create interactive buttons within their designs with minimal effort.
