Put design questions where the design lives
Bring a useful question from a Linear discussion into the relevant Figma file, so the designer can respond in context.
Trigger
Comment Received Trigger
Triggered when a comment is received.
Action
Add a comment to a file
Posts a new comment to a figma file or branch, optionally replying to an existing root comment (replies cannot be nested); `region height` and `region width` in `client meta` must be positive if defining a comment region.
Why this helps
Questions buried in issue threads can be missed by the person reviewing the actual design.
- Surfaces a design question beside the work it concerns.
- Avoids asking the same thing in multiple places.
- Keeps issue discussions and design review connected.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Figma to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis conversationally to create one.
- 3Give Notis one plain-language instruction to recognize design questions in new Linear comments, find the related Figma file, and post a concise comment with the question and issue reference.
- 4Choose the Linear Comment Received trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real design question and check the resulting Figma comment.
Questions about this workflow
Will every Linear comment be copied?
The instruction should tell Notis which comments count as design questions, so unrelated discussion is not sent to Figma.
Where will Notis comment?
The prompt should direct Notis to find the Figma file related to the issue and add the comment there.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Linear to Figma. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Linear triggers
Figma actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add a comment to a file
Posts a new comment to a figma file or branch, optionally replying to an existing root comment (replies cannot be nested); `region height` and `region width` in `client meta` must be positive if defining a comment region.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Add a reaction to a comment
Posts a specified emoji reaction to an existing comment in a figma file or branch, requiring valid file key and comment id.
Comment Received Trigger
Triggered when a comment is received.
Create a webhook
Creates a figma webhook for a `team id` to send post notifications for an `event type` to a publicly accessible https `endpoint`; an initial ping is sent unless `status` is `paused`.
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
Create dev resources
Creates and attaches multiple uniquely-urled development resources to specified figma nodes, up to 10 per node.
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Create, modify, or delete variables
Manages variables, collections, modes, and their values in a figma file via batch create/update/delete operations; use temporary ids to link new related items in one request and ensure `variablemodevalues` match the target variable's `resolvedtype`.
Private Team Comment Created
Fires when a new comment is posted on an issue in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
Delete a comment
Deletes a specific comment from a figma file or branch, provided the authenticated user is the original author of the comment.
Private Team Issue Created
Fires when a new issue appears in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
Delete a reaction
Deletes a specific emoji reaction from a comment in a figma file; the user must have originally created the reaction.
Private Team Issue Properties Updated
Fires when properties on an issue change in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
Delete a webhook
Permanently deletes an existing webhook, identified by its unique `webhook id`; this operation is irreversible.
