Figma Personal Acces Token

In order for the Figma for Jira app to work we need a Personal Access Token. This token allows us to access the Figma API and retrieve all your Figma files/frames.

We advise you to create a generic Figma account for Figma for Jira (for example figmaforjira@yourdomain.com) and to create an access token for this account. By creating a generic account the access token is not linked to your personal account.

Please keep in mind that you need to add figmaforjira@yourdomain.com to each Figma file you would like to embed

Please take the following steps to create the token:

  1. Login to your Figma account

  2. Head to Help & Account from the top left-menu inside Figma and click on Account Settings

  3. Find the Personal Access Tokens section

  4. Click generate token below and hit “Save”
