Turn token requests into reviewable candidates
Move a new design-system request closer to a decision by capturing its proposed token in the relevant Figma collection.
Trigger
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
Action
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`.
Why this helps
Token requests can linger in issue lists without becoming a concrete candidate for the design system owner to review.
- Gives token requests a concrete review location.
- Reduces the effort of re-entering a proposal in the design system.
- Keeps the original issue available as decision context.
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.
- 3Write one instruction asking Notis to recognize new token requests, assess whether the proposal is sufficiently specified, and create a clearly labeled candidate variable in the relevant Figma file for human review.
- 4Choose the Linear Issue Created trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real, well-specified token request and verify its type and value before relying on the workflow.
Questions about this workflow
Will Notis decide the final token value?
The prompt should create a review candidate only when the issue provides enough detail, leaving the design-system owner to approve it.
Can this create variables?
Yes. The Figma action manages variables and collections; the instruction should specify how Notis should handle incomplete requests.

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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
