Automatically update Jira tickets when a Figma design is updated

When a designer saves a new Figma version, the matching Jira ticket gets an automatic comment and status update.

How the work actually flows

A straight line.

The problem it solves

Your design and engineering teams often lose track of which Figma version matches which Jira ticket. Designers have to remember to manually comment on Jira every time they update a file, and updates get missed or forgotten, leaving developers working from outdated designs.

Who it fits

Product and design teams that manage projects in Jira and design in Figma.

How it works

  1. A designer saves and commits a new version of a Figma file
  2. The design details and linked Jira ticket are sent to the automation
  3. The matching Jira ticket is located automatically
  4. The design changes are logged as a comment on that ticket
  5. The ticket status is updated to match the current stage of the work, and the team sees the update in Jira
What you get

Design updates that land in Jira automatically

Every time a designer updates a Figma file, the matching Jira ticket gets a comment and status update automatically.

What you get

An updated Jira ticket with a comment showing the latest design changes and current status.

What you need

A Figma account with the versioning plugin installed and a Jira account with API access.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
