Introducing Live Embed of Figma designs in Trello & Jira Software | Figma Blog (opens in new tab)

Figma introduced Live Embeds for Trello and Jira Software, allowing teams to place Figma designs directly in cards and tickets. Embedded designs update automatically whenever the original Figma file changes, eliminating outdated image exports and reducing the effort designers spend sharing the latest work. The integration is positioned as a way to improve communication between designers, developers, product managers, and other stakeholders. ## Live, Automatically Updated Designs - Teams can embed Figma files in Trello cards and Jira tickets. - Changes made in Figma—such as adjusting spacing or colors—appear automatically in the embedded design. - Everyone can access the current version of a design without searching for files or replacing outdated screenshots. - The feature reduces reliance on exported PNGs that become obsolete as soon as the design changes. ## Improving Designer–Developer Collaboration - Trello and Jira are central tools for planning work, tracking deadlines, and coordinating product development. - Live Embeds help keep design information connected to the tasks where teams already work. - Atlassian described the integration as a way to streamline communication and make the latest designs easier to find. ## Expanding Figma Integrations - The Atlassian integration follows a similar Live Embed capability previously introduced for Dropbox Paper. - Figma emphasizes that its browser-based platform makes it well suited to embedding designs across different workflows. - The company planned to bring Live Embeds to more tools used by designers and their teams. ## Getting Started - **Jira Software:** Enable the Figma integration through Atlassian’s marketplace, then paste a Figma URL into a Jira ticket’s design section. - **Trello:** Enable Figma as a team Power-Up, then attach a Figma URL to a Trello card. Live Embeds are recommended for teams that want design work to remain synchronized with project-management tasks and accessible to everyone involved in shipping a product.

Figma + Dropbox Paper | Figma Blog (opens in new tab)

Figma announced a live integration with Dropbox Paper that lets teams embed Figma designs and prototypes directly into collaborative documents. Embedded content updates automatically, reducing confusion over outdated files and keeping project stakeholders aligned. The integration reflects Figma’s broader goal of making design collaboration accessible across disciplines and tools. ## Live Figma Embeds in Dropbox Paper - Figma designs and prototypes can now appear as live embeds inside Dropbox Paper documents. - Updates made to the original Figma file are reflected immediately in the Paper document. - The feature helps project managers, engineers, and designers work from the same, current version of a design. - It eliminates the need to search for or repeatedly share updated design files. ## Broader Collaboration Across Teams - Dropbox Paper is positioned as a collaborative workspace for teams with Dropbox accounts. - Paper already supported integrations with services such as YouTube, GitHub, and Facebook. - Figma’s addition extends design collaboration beyond the design application itself. - The integration keeps teams in context while discussing and acting on design work. ## Simple, Lightweight Setup - Users can create an embed by copying and pasting a Figma project URL into Dropbox Paper. - The live document appears immediately without a complicated configuration process. - Figma removed unrelated application components from the embed, making it lightweight and fast. The integration is recommended for teams that use Dropbox Paper to coordinate work around designs. By embedding live Figma content rather than static exports, teams can maintain a more reliable and up-to-date source of truth.
