Synchronize Figma to FigJam & vice-versa

Would be great to have:

  1. Paste (Import) a component, frame, etc. from Figma
  2. Make changes to that component or frame in Figma → Changes are synchronized with FigJam (possibly with a review)

It would be really great if design files dropped into FigJam could update when the original design file has any changes made. I know when a design file is dropped into FigJam it is turned into an image but if there was any way for those to be linked so that FigJam is always showing the latest design that would be very helpful.

So any update on this one?

Im tired of using overflow…having all the designs in only one environment is a life saving time!

I’m interested too, not for the money, just to help you guys!

I hate Overflow because a lot of basic features are still not available. Overflow is kind of unflexible and get horrible if you start creating high complex user flows.

I hope (!) FigJam will get some User Flow Features as well because for me its not only an Miro Alternative. With both tools you can build up kind of all creative process about conception, designing, user flow, prototype and handover in one tool…

So import an existing frame and mirror it from the design file right into the FigJam file would be an very good feature.

This is the only reason my design team continues to use Miro vs Figjam; one simple change, and we would switch straight away. Figaro plugin is buggy and doesn’t always work as designed, but it’s better than no syncing at all.

Is it a little disappointing that this feature isn’t core to FigJam.

It’s almost as if “We have this great design tool”, “We now have this great collaboration tool for people to come together on” - and yet ironically the two products aren’t joined at the hip.

Perhaps one day there will be a FigJam plugin or widget to dynamically embed frames from Figma > FigJam. If a quick change to a screen design comes up during a FigJam call, make the edit there & then in FigJam - get everyone’s agreement and it’s reflected in the Figma design file - it seems so obvious to me?

Or on a more basic level if FigJam is used to diagram user-flows with copy & pasted screens from Figma, then the colours or labels or whatever change in the design file, the user flow diagram in FigJam is now out of date with the design file.

One more vote for this idea. Currently, I’m using Figjam to hand off UI flow to engineers. But every time the mockup changes, I need to copy and paste the frame from Figma to Figjam and link the flow all over again, which is exhausting and bothering me. The sync-up function could be a major standout compared to any other similar tool like Miro.

Need this! So we don’t have to rely on Mural anymore…

Is there an update to this feature request? Or its even documented as an feature request on Figma/FigJam’s backlog etc.?

I think I have read around enough from recent posts that the ability to:

Embed, or input live (always up to date) Figma screens into FigJam is NOT possible.

I want to ideate in FigJam with workflows and ideas, create designs in Figma, and then be able to build robust workflows utilizing the current state of the Figma screen in FigJam. Has anyone seen or tried a good plugin, or does this or COULD THIS exist in the future?
