Pasting Figma links into Figma Make's AI chat

I am creating a personal hub where tiles link to various places related to my workflow. Some of these tiles link to Figma files, but Figma Make’s AI agent won’t let me paste Figma URLs in the chat box. I had to bypass it by breaking the URL with specific characters while asking the Figma Make agent to remove those specific characters (Example: giving the agent https://www.figmddda.com/design/WIM and telling it to remove the ‘ddd’). A better solution is Figma just allows us to paste in Figma links then add a dialogue explaining situations where pasting Figma frames would be better - because my situation needs the Figma URL, not a frame.

Hey ​@Melissa_Rausch 👋 Thanks for the interesting questions. The can be a few factors here. Let’s work on it!

Two questons:

  • Where did you copy each Figma link from — the Share dialog, the browser address bar, or right-click → "Copy link to selection"? These don't all produce the same link: a selection/address-bar link carries a node ID and opens to a specific frame, while a Share-dialog link (with nothing selected) opens the file itself
  • Who's meant to open this hub — just you, or others too? A Figma link only opens for people who have access to that file, so if you'll be sharing the hub, it's worth confirming each linked file's sharing settings

Thanks for the additional details! — Jaycee

​@Jaycee Lewis Thank you for your response. Here are details:

  • I used the Share dialogue’s ‘Copy link’ in the Editor via the Figma desktop app. These links should be to Figma files - I am not trying to link to a selection.
  • This hub is mainly personal - I use it for myself, but I have shared the hub link with my team and setup permissions to my organization. All Figma files posted in my hub have similar permissions (open to my organization only).

👋 Thanks ​@Melissa_Rausch , that all makes sense on the link setup — file-level Share links, org-scoped access.

To clarify, so I can reproduce exactly what you're seeing:

  • When Make blocks the paste, is it right as you're starting a new file, or partway through an ongoing chat where your hub already exists and you're asking it to add/edit a link?
  • Does it happen every time you paste a Figma URL, or only sometimes / with certain links?
  • Is it throwing a waring or erorr message after pasting link? 

Thanks! — Jaycee
