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 Embedded designs update automatically whenever the original Figma file changes, eliminating outdated image exports and reducing the effort designers spend sharing the latest work.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 - Everyone can access the current version of a design without searching for files or replacing outdated screenshots.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.
