Recheck the design system when scope shifts
When a change may affect shared styling, get a fresh token snapshot from the relevant Figma file before making assumptions.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Action
Extract design tokens
Extract design tokens from figma files. combines styles, variables, and extracted values to create a comprehensive design token system.
Why this helps
A scope shift can change design assumptions, while the token inventory stays out of sight until someone remembers to check it.
- Makes current token context easier to review after a scope shift.
- Helps reduce accidental use of outdated styling assumptions.
- Turns a tool search into a timely prompt for design-system review.
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.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis which scope changes warrant a token check, how to identify the relevant Figma file, and to summarize extracted tokens in its run report.
- 4Choose the Linear Issue Updated trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real design-system scope change and review the extracted token summary.
Questions about this workflow
Will this edit the design tokens?
No. It extracts token information for review; the workflow does not change the Figma file.
Should this run on every issue update?
The instruction should narrow the workflow to changes that may affect shared design-system decisions.

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.
