Connect Figma

Connect Figma with a token that can only read your files, so designs can bring in frames.

In short

Connect Figma once for the whole organization. Designs then bring in frames from your Figma files through it.

Before you start

• Who: someone who may manage the organization's connections - owners and admins have it by default.
• Plan: design tools come with a paid plan, and the 14-day Business trial has them.
• First: a Figma account that can open the files your designs use.

Sign in

1. Open your organization, then Settings › "Connections", and press "Connect a design tool".
2. Choose "Figma". The wizard opens; each step is checked before the next one opens.
3. Read what you need and press "Next".
4. Press "Open the token page". In Figma open Security, Personal access tokens, Generate new token, with File content: Read-only.
5. Copy the token, paste it into "Token" and press "Check this step".

Check and use

1. Press "Run the full check". Every step should say Passed; a step that failed names what to change.
2. Under "Where will you use it?" tick Designer.
3. Optional: under "Only these teams" tick the teams that may pick it. Leave it empty for everyone who may use those modules.
4. Check the "Name" - boards, designs and projects show it - and press "Finish". The connection shows under "Connections" with its health.

If a step fails

• A failed step names its code, what it means and what to change. The code's section of /help/settings/fix-a-company-connection says more.
• Change what the step says and press "Check again". The next step opens only when this one passes.
• Closing the wizard keeps every step that passed. Press "Continue setup" on the connection's row to go on where you stopped.

Good to know

• Figma tokens end on the date you chose. {{brand}} tells you before it stops working; replace it from the connection's row.

• A connection's row shows its health, its last delivery and "Where used".
• "Deliveries" lists what the webhook address received in the last 30 days and where each delivery went.
• "Disconnect" first lists every board, design and project that would stop using it.
• Nobody else pastes a token: boards, designs and API projects pick this connection.
