Figma changes to Jira tickets in real time with Watcher

Watcher in one line

Watcher observes each Figma library publish, captures the real diff on components, variants, styles, and tokens, and turns that signal into work your team can act on without rewriting specs.

The point is to keep the story of the change close to where work happens so delivery stays smooth.

Design system publishes become Jira tickets

Lyse integrates with Jira so every relevant design system update arrives as a clean ticket in the right place.

On publish, Watcher sends a structured ticket that includes the change summary, deep links to the exact Figma nodes, and clear acceptance hints. Your tracker mirrors reality moments after the update lands in Figma.

Why Jira fits ?

Jira is where planning, review, and accountability live for many teams. By routing design-system diffs directly into Jira projects, ownership stays obvious and discussions stay anchored to evidence instead of screenshots.

The result is fewer context gaps and a faster path from change to PR.

What you get with Watcher’s feature

• Tickets that appear at publish time with links and rationale, ready to pick up

• Clear ownership as updates land in the intended Jira project with consistent structure

• Better reviews because the intent travels with the ticket, not in a separate thread

• A traceable line from design change to ticket to code, reducing rework later

Questions we hear from teams

How does this reduce cycle time ?

Each publish becomes a ready Jira ticket with the diff, links, and acceptance hints. Fewer pings and meetings, faster PRs, more predictable releases.

What happens when components are renamed or deprecated ?

Lyse links old and new references and adds migration notes so cleanup is clear inside Jira. Engineers or agents can update imports and props and remove obsolete components with review control intact.

Does this replace PMs or Design System Managers ?

No. Lyse removes mechanical handoff work so leaders focus on priorities and reviews while Jira keeps the gates and the paper trail from design to code.

How do we keep signal high without flooding Jira ?

Scope what Watcher observes and group minor edits into focused tickets so ownership stays clean and backlogs stay readable.
