How to use Figma for Jira

After installing Figma for Jira, a new issue panel will become available on all existing Jira issues.

 

To add a design to a Jira issue, open the issue view and click on the Figma for Jira logo. Upon clicking on the logo a new issue panel appears.

 

Go to Figma and open the Figma design that you like to attach to the Jira issue. In Figma, click on the Share button. In the dialog, click on Copy link in the top right corner.

Paste the URL of your Figma design into the input box & click on the Add button

 

In order to attach Figma designs to Jira issues, Figma for Jira needs access to the Figma API. If you haven’t previously done so, you will be asked to fill in your Figma Personal Access Token upon adding a new design. After succesfully saving your token, the app will start loading your Figma design.

 

The Figma design has now been added to your issue

 

Due to Jira Cloud limitations, it is currently not possible to add Figma designs upon creating a new issue.

Embedding your Figma design is just the start of the functionality the app provides! You can find a detailed explanation of all the additional features on the pages below.
