How to get a Figma personal access token

Follow these steps to create a personal access token in Figma.

  1. Sign in to your Figma account.
  2. Open Figma developers: personal access tokens.
  3. Click Get personal access token.
  4. Enter a label for the token if Figma prompts you.
  5. Copy the token value and store it somewhere secure.

When you may need personalAccessToken

Most Grida products use built-in Figma authentication, but some workflows still need an explicit personalAccessToken.

Common cases:

  • internal or beta workflows that have not yet adopted the full OAuth flow
  • scripts or tools that access the Figma API directly
  • workflows where you temporarily need to authenticate against a different Figma account

Security note

Treat your personal access token like a password. Do not paste it into public documents, screenshots, or issue threads.
