Question

Code Connect scope missing?

Jared Collums

I’m a developer that was just given dev mode access to my company’s library.  When I execute `figma connect` I get this error:

 

Failed to fetch components from Figma (403): 403 Invalid scope(s): Please ensure that you have selected both the File Read scope and the Code Connect Write scope when generating the token.

 

In the Getting started with Code Connect article it mentions this:

Generate a personal access token with the Code Connect scope set to Write and the File content scope set to Read-only.

 

However, this is not one of the scopes that are available to me when I create a personal access token.  This happens even when I give all my available scopes the highest privileges. Does anyone know what I am missing here?  Does my organization need to do something to have this scope show up here?

I am also having this issue. I have turned on all scopes for my token (Read-only when applicable, Read/Write when available).

It looks like you need to be a part of an organization to get access to Figma Code Connect. See this issue on Github: https://github.com/figma/code-connect/issues/275

 

The pricing page outlines this too: https://www.figma.com/pricing/#features

 

Two things worth noting:

  1. You will need a company email address
  2. You have to pay for a full year ($660/yr per full seat at the time of writing this)

I don’t see an option for monthly payments on organization plans, which is very unfortunate. I don’t know if Figma Connect is going to work for our team, so I would prefer being able to pay monthly until we can confirm it will work for us. Our team won’t be trying out Figma Connect right now because of this.
