Why can’t I see my workspace when connecting Dovetail to Figma Make?
Why can’t I see my workspace when connecting Dovetail to Figma Make?
If your workspace doesn’t appear as a selectable option when setting up the Figma Make integration, this is usually due to how authentication works.Dovetail treats each login method (for example: Google login, SSO, email/password) as a separate identity. The workspaces available to you depend on the login method you used to sign in.
How to fix it
To make your workspace appear in Figma Make:- Log out of Dovetail completely.
- Log back in to Dovetail using the same login method you use for Figma.
- Open and access the correct workspace directly in Dovetail (outside of the Figma flow).
- Log into Dovetail
- Open a new tab within that same incognito window and log in to Figma (using the same login method you used for Dovetail)
- Connect to Dovetail via Figma Make
