FigJam connectors in Figma

When creating hand-off documents I like to showcase user flows by using arrows between different UI elements. I have to use plugins to create these arrows at the moment. When playing with Figjam I notice it had a connector option - this is great. I would love it if we could also have this connector option inside Figma as it would be a HUGE timesaver for hand-off.

I would like to think this would be a super easy update given that we can already edit connectors inside Figma. We just need a connector button in the toolbar like so:

    It could be also useful if the connectors lines could be part of a component.

      Thanks for the lifehack, guys! It’s really cool stuff for the CJM.

      How about FigJam in Figma?

        Well, the most interesting thing is when you group all connectors in the folder in order to have everything well organized.it happens that connectors just disappear with no reason…

          Came here to say this too. I thought I was clever for trying to convert a FigJam connector into a Figma component as a hack, but no… Figma wouldn’t let me do that ¯_(ツ)_/¯.

            I think Figma wants to sell connectors only in the new product - Figjam. They want you to purchase it and will not make it available in existing Figma design files. You guys have found a workaround to add connectors in existing Figma design files by copying it from the jam file. I think they will now stop this function from working. This is not good. They should make it also available in design files and allow to change the thickness and colors

              Sure, you can copy/paste them, but that creates another problem - it creates such a mess with other layers. If you put them into folder, then copy/pasting existing connector just connect the edge of that folder that groups them. This is must have! I mean, i understand business needs, and the need to sell FigJam, which is useful on it’s on right, but it has plethora of other useful things for which Users will be ready to pay.but you really need to make it a native thing sooner rather than later.

                Figma, time to add this feature. I stopped using Adobe XD because they ignored the community. Please don’t tell me Figma is doing the same!

                    1. FigJam connector works like a charm. It also works when it was copied to Figma file.

                    2. But if I want to use the connector a lot in Figma. It’s not a good user experience with a lot of copy, paste and dragdrop.

                    3.Is it possible to add the connector as a Figma shape and give it a shortcut? It should be quite a nice feature.
