Figma Integration in ClickUp

The Figma integration in ClickUp lets you bring live design files directly into your workspace so teams can review, discuss, and track creative work without switching tools.

This how-to guide walks you step by step through enabling the integration, embedding files, and using the features to keep design feedback centralized and actionable.

What the Figma and ClickUp integration does

By connecting Figma with ClickUp, you can display interactive design frames in tasks and Docs instead of sharing static screenshots or long links.

Key things you can do after setup include:

Embed Figma files and prototypes into tasks.
Embed Figma designs into ClickUp Docs for specs or briefs.
Keep design previews automatically updated as files change in Figma.
Provide context for designers, developers, and stakeholders in one place.

The integration is designed to streamline collaboration so comments, requirements, and design versions live side by side with your work management.

Requirements before connecting Figma to ClickUp

Before you start, make sure your Figma account is configured so ClickUp can access the design files you want to embed.

Figma account access

To use the integration effectively, you should have:

An active Figma account.
Permission to view the files you plan to embed.
Permission to update link sharing settings for those files if needed.

If your organization manages Figma with team or org permissions, confirm that your role lets you create and share links.

Figma link sharing settings for ClickUp

For Figma files to display inside ClickUp, the share link must allow access to the people who will view the task or Doc.

In Figma, open a file and check the sharing options for the link you will embed. Typical settings include:

Anyone with the link can view – best for broad access.
Only team or organization members – suitable for internal use when all users are in the same Figma workspace.

If viewers in ClickUp do not have permission in Figma, they may see an error or be asked to request access.

How to enable the Figma integration in ClickUp

Once your Figma permissions are set, you can enable the integration inside ClickUp. This is usually done from workspace settings or integration settings depending on your plan and role.

Step 1: Open ClickUp integrations

Sign in to your ClickUp workspace.
Open the main settings or profile menu, then locate the Integrations section.
Search or browse for the Figma integration.

If you do not see integrations, you may need admin or owner permissions in ClickUp, or the feature may be restricted by workspace settings.

Step 2: Connect your Figma account

Select the Figma integration card from the list.
Click the option to Connect or Authorize.
A new window or tab will open asking you to log in to Figma if you are not already signed in.
Review the permissions requested, then grant access so ClickUp can read and display your shared files.

After authorization, the integration will show as connected. You can disconnect or reauthorize later from the same area if needed.

How to embed Figma files in ClickUp tasks

With the integration enabled, you can embed interactive Figma previews directly into task descriptions or comments inside ClickUp.

Step 1: Copy the Figma link

Open the Figma file, frame, or prototype you want to share.
Click the Share button in Figma.
Confirm the correct permissions for the link.
Copy the shareable URL to your clipboard.

Some teams prefer to generate a link to a specific frame or prototype flow so viewers in ClickUp land on the exact design context required.

Step 2: Paste the link in a ClickUp task

Open the relevant task in ClickUp.
Click in the task description field or a comment.
Paste the Figma URL.
Depending on the integration behavior, ClickUp may automatically convert the link into an embedded preview or show an option to embed.

Once embedded, the Figma content will display directly in the task view, so teammates can scroll, zoom, or switch frames according to what Figma allows.

Best practices for Figma links in ClickUp

Use descriptive surrounding text to explain what the design represents.
Add custom fields, statuses, or tags in ClickUp to track design review stages.
Mention specific stakeholders in task comments to request feedback on the embedded design.

How to embed Figma designs in ClickUp Docs

You can also use the integration to add Figma content in ClickUp Docs, which is helpful for product specs, design systems, and project briefs.

Step 1: Prepare the Figma file

As with tasks, confirm the file link is shared to the right audience and copy the URL from Figma.

Step 2: Insert the link into a ClickUp Doc

Open or create a Doc in ClickUp.
Place your cursor where the embed should appear.
Paste the Figma URL into the Doc body.
Allow the integration to turn the link into an embedded preview if supported.

The embedded Figma view will live side by side with written requirements, user stories, and checklists inside the Doc.

Use cases for Docs and the Figma integration

Product requirement documents that include the latest UI mockups.
Design review documents that mix screenshots, embedded files, and discussion notes.
Style guides that reference live Figma components.

Troubleshooting Figma integration issues in ClickUp

If your embedded files are not displaying correctly inside ClickUp, check these common issues.

Verify access permissions

Make sure the viewer in ClickUp also has access to the corresponding Figma file.
Confirm the link-sharing permission still allows viewing for the intended audience.

Check integration connection

Return to the integrations section in ClickUp and verify that Figma is still connected.
If necessary, disconnect and reconnect the integration to refresh permissions.

Confirm link format

Ensure you are using a valid Figma share URL, not a local or outdated link.
Test the link in a separate browser tab to confirm it loads as expected.

If problems continue after these checks, consult the official Figma integration article in the ClickUp Help Center at this support page or reach out to your workspace admin.

Tips for getting more value from ClickUp and Figma

Once the integration is running, refine your workflows so design and project management stay aligned inside ClickUp.

Group related tasks under a design or product space, then embed relevant Figma files in each task.
Use statuses such as Design in progress, Ready for review, and Approved to track the lifecycle of each design item.
Create Docs that act as hubs for design initiatives and embed multiple Figma files for easy navigation.
