Why you should connect your Figma account to Briefmatic

Connecting your Figma account to your Briefmatic account allows you to see, reply and resolve any comments mentioning you within any of your Figma files from within Briefmatic or within the file itself if you click on the option to “Go to Item.”

How to connect your Figma account to Briefmatic

To connect your Figma account to your Briefmatic account follow these steps;

  1. Go to the Connections tab, click on the “Connect” button on the Figma card and follow the prompts to authorise the connection. Briefmatic requires this approval to be able to read and write to your files, to find files with comments and to allow you to comment and resolve items from within Briefmatic.

  2. You will then be able to enter your Figma Team ID.

How to get your Figma Team ID

To get your Figma Team ID, you'll need to open Figma in your browser so you can see Figma's URLs:

  1. Launch Figma in your browser.

  2. On the left-hand navigation, click on your Team name

  3. Once on your team's page, you'll need to highlight and copy the Team ID from the URL in the address bar, which shows after the /team/ segment.

  4. Paste just the numbers into the Team ID field in the Figma Connection settings in Briefmatic and hit Save.

How to connect multiple Figma accounts to your Briefmatic account

  1. Go to the Connections tab, Scroll down to the Available connections section and click on the “Connect” button on the Figma card.

  2. Click Allow Access, then add a comma after your existing team id and then add your additional Figma Team ID.
