Upload Work from Figma

The Workflow Figma plugin lets you attach specific Figma frames to a Workflow task. Others can then view the frames directly from the task, and comment directly on them.

By uploading specific frames, you ensure that your team sees exactly what you want them to see, and can provide feedback on the exact elements you’re looking for input on.

​

Using the Plugin

Here’s a 2-minute video to walk you through how to use the Figma plugin:

To use the plugin:

1. Open your Figma file, and select the frames you want to share.
2. Navigate to ‘Plugins’ on the top menu and select ‘Workflow.’ Alternatively, open the Figma command bar with Cmd + P (Mac) or Ctrl + P (Windows), and type ‘Workflow’.
3. In the plugin window, verify the selected frames and click ‘Next’ or press ‘Enter’.
4. Choose an existing task to add the frames to, or create a new one.
5. Set the desired status for the task after uploading your frames.
6. (Optional) Record a video walkthrough to provide additional context and notify your team.

Send Comments to Figma

Workflow can send comments back to your Figma file automatically. This only goes one way - you still need to reply in Workflow to keep the conversation going.

This keeps your design feedback loop efficient and reduces the need to switch between applications.

To set up:

1. Go to your Figma Settings in the Settings area.
2. Click “Connect to Figma” and authorise Workflow to send comments to Figma.
3. Install the Workflow Figma plugin.
4. Send your Figma frames to a Workflow task as usual, using the plugin.

Comments made in Workflow will now automatically appear on the corresponding Figma file.
