Keep design triage close to the issue
Give new design-related Linear issues a clear landing spot in Figma, so the context and next step are easy to find.
Trigger
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
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
A new issue can sit unnoticed while the founder switches between Linear and Figma to figure out where design work belongs.
- Creates a visible starting point for design work.
- Reduces time spent hunting through files after an issue arrives.
- Helps the team pick up the next action without another handoff.
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 plain-language instruction, tell Notis to find the relevant Figma file for a new design issue and add a short triage comment with the issue context.
- 4Choose the Linear Issue Created trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real design issue and confirm the comment appears in the right file.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a Figma design file?
No. It asks Notis to find the relevant existing file and add a comment there.
What should the prompt say?
Tell Notis to use the new issue context to locate the relevant Figma file and leave a concise comment explaining the design question and next step.

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`.
