- We’ve set up figma’s slack app within our organization but when any user adds it they aren’t being prompted to to authorize access to our figma files. Is there any way from within the settings to link the slack integrati&hellip.
- Figma is where teams create, test, and ship designs from start to finish. The Figma app for Slack keeps everyone up to date on the latest design work through relevant notifications about file updates and comments. With the app, you can reply to file comments directly in Slack. You’ll also get notified when: - you’re tagged in a file.
It would be amazing if Figma’s Slack integration offered live previews of individual Frames that you could post in channels. I find myself sharing a PNG copied from Figma to communicate design updates, but when changes happen, I have to rinse and repeat that process if people aren’t jumping into the files themselves.
Figma and Slack have an active Technology Partnership according to www.figma.com. There are 25 companies in the Figma partner ecosystem and 1,397 companies in the Slack partner ecosystem. 17 companies exist in both ecosystems, representing 68% of the Figma parther ecosystem and 1% of the Slack partner ecoystem. Share docs directly from Slite to Slack channels. Search for Slite docs and share them directly from Slack using '/slite'. Receive Slite activity highlights into any Slack channel when docs are created or edited.
It’s often easier to just send static images and get immediate discussions going in Slack versus using Figma’s commenting system.
How cool would it be to have live previews of a selected frame from a Figma file embedded straight into a Slack post?
Slack shortcut workflow would be something like:
Figma Slack Template
- “Embed frame from Figma file”
- Paste URL to Figma file
- Select from dropdown the Frame you want to embed

Click Share, and you have a preview that updates at an interval. It wouldn’t even need to be realtime, but maybe having a refresh action/button on those embeds would tell Figma to fetch the latest preview.
Clicking the embedded image would display a full-size preview in Slack, just like other images, and the embed would also provide a link / button to View in Figma.
