Design lives in Figma. The work that acts on it — the task, the status, the owner, the due date — lives in monday.com. So every review turns into a hunt: someone pastes a link in an update, someone else opens it in a new tab, a third person comments on the wrong version. The context you need to give good feedback is always one click away, in a different place.

When you embed Figma in monday.com, that gap closes. The design opens right inside the item or board where the work is tracked, so reviewers see the file and the task together and leave feedback without leaving the board. This guide walks through how it works, where to place the embed, and how to keep reviews clean.

Why embed Figma in monday.com at all

A shared Figma link is fine until you have ten of them. Then nobody remembers which task each link belongs to, whether it's the current frame, or who already reviewed it. The design and the work drift apart.

Embedding puts the design where the decision happens. A reviewer opening a task sees the exact frame under discussion next to its status, owner, and comments. There's no separate tab to find, no stale link to second-guess. The Embed Figma for monday.com app opens your Figma designs and prototypes inside monday.com boards and items, so review and feedback happen in context.

  • Fewer wrong-version reviews. The embed points at your live Figma file, so people see the current design rather than a screenshot someone pasted last week.
  • Feedback stays attached to the work. Comments and status changes live on the same item as the design, not scattered across chat threads.
  • Less tab-switching. Reviewers who aren't in Figma every day don't have to go find it — the design is already open where they work.

How to embed Figma in monday.com, step by step

Setup is short. You install the app once, then add the Figma view wherever you want it and paste a share link. Here's the flow at a high level.

  1. Install the app. Add Embed Figma for monday.com from the monday.com marketplace and connect your account through the standard OAuth prompt.
  2. Copy the Figma share link. In Figma, open the file or prototype you want to show and copy its share link. Make sure the people who'll review it can access that file in Figma.
  3. Add the view. On the board or item where the work is tracked, add the Figma view.
  4. Paste the link. Drop the share link into the view. The design loads in place, and it stays pointed at the live file.
  5. Share the item. Send reviewers to the monday.com item, not to Figma. They open one place and see the design and the task together.

Check access firstThe embed shows your own Figma file, so each reviewer still needs access to it in Figma. If a design looks blank for someone, it's almost always a Figma permission issue, not the embed. Confirm they can open the raw share link before you troubleshoot anything else.

Board view or item view: where to put the embed

The app opens Figma in two places inside monday.com — a board view and an item view. Which one you reach for depends on whether the design belongs to one task or to a whole workflow.

Item view — one design, one task

Use the item view when a specific design maps to a specific piece of work: a screen tied to a story, a prototype attached to a feature, a mockup that needs sign-off before a task moves. The reviewer opens the item, sees that exact design, and comments right there. This is the placement most teams live in day to day.

Board view — a design the whole board shares

Use the board view when one design or prototype is the reference for everything on the board — a flow the whole team is building against, or a prototype under active review across several tasks. Anyone on the board can open the view and check the current design without hunting for the link on an individual item.

Item view for a design that belongs to one task; board view for a design the whole board works against.

Keeping Figma reviews clean in monday.com

An embed removes the friction of finding the design. It doesn't automatically make your reviews organized — that's still on you. A few habits keep things tidy once the design is in the board.

  • Link the exact frame, not the whole file. Copy a share link that lands on the specific frame or flow under review, so people aren't scrolling a giant canvas to find what you mean.
  • Tie review to a status. Pair the embed with a status column — In review, Changes requested, Approved — so the state of the design is visible at a glance, not buried in comments.
  • Keep design changes in Figma. The embed is for viewing and feedback in context. Edits still happen in Figma, and because the embed tracks the live file, reviewers see updates without you re-pasting anything.
  • Update the link if the source file moves. If a design gets rebuilt in a new Figma file, refresh the link in the view so the board never points at an abandoned design.

It complements Figma, it doesn't replace itYou're embedding your own Figma files for in-context review. Figma stays your source of truth for the actual design work — monday.com just becomes the place where feedback and status live alongside it.

Where this fits with your other monday.com embeds

Design review is one case of a broader pattern: bringing the tool your team already uses into the board where the work is tracked, so people stop tab-hopping. If you run design and delivery in the same workspace, it's often worth embedding the neighbors too.

Teams that embed Figma frequently also embed Canva designs in monday.com for lighter marketing assets, pull dashboards in with a Power BI embed, or keep a shared schedule visible by embedding Google Calendar. Same idea each time: the reference material sits next to the work, not in another window.
