FigJam connectors in Figma

I’ve been using connectors in Figma Design (via a simple ‘hack’ of copy pasting them from a FigJam document), and they are supported as connectors, they behave as expected (anchoring on groups, frames, layers, etc), but they’re quite buggy (they seem to be always outside any grouping, and when copy pasting them they can end up all broken up and weird places in the canvas).

So my request is simple: fully support connectors in Figma Design, they’re useful for linking flows, annotations, etc.

Figma team: make this happen quick please, don’t hit the brakes now.

Same situation here. Or have an option to make the prototype arrows visible and style them, drag them away/around obstacles for example. That wouldn’t be so bad either.

+1 Connector lines that start from a layer and end pointing to some layer so that changing the layout doesn’t screw up what points to where.

Like arrows on prototype actions, but with control points and editable color.

Figma team: I’d like you to know your stubborn refusal to add this simple and critical feature (that you already have the js code for in FigJam) was the straw that cost you an enterprise-level client.

Despite our Figma sales rep’s promise that this feature was ‘coming soon’ 4 years ago, development on Figma is at a standstill, and client requests and Figma promises go ignored.

Echoing the same sentiment here. Figma onboarding team kept pressuring us to migrate from Miro to FigJam. The fact that I can’t point to a specific area on a wireframe to make annotations is useless. Will be going back to Miro and making my team aware of this issue. FigJam has a looong way to go to replace Miro.

My biggest issue is not even copying the FigJam arrows to Figma, but that they don’t connect to items within components. Hope this can be solved 🤞

That’s interesting… what are you trying to use this for?

In my organisation, we describe flows with wire flows but on high-fidelity mockups.
Sometimes we have bigger components, like a whole modal, and we want to show, that for example clicking a CTA navigates to a frame. FigJam arrow only connects to the whole modal, and not the CTA component within.

It is also listed as a limitation in the Simpleflow plugin, so I guess more people might encounter this problem

Tired of manually transferring arrows and the inability to add arrows to the component library

😭 Or at least make sure that arrow duplication (ctrl+d) preserves its properties, such as rounding radius and thickness.

Hi @vladimir.zhukov, Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I found other community members asking for something similar. So we’ve moved your posts to FigJam connectors in Figma to consolidate all feedback in one location.
