Find the design home for a new project
Start a project with a clear path to its design files, without opening Figma and searching from scratch.
Trigger
Project Created
Fires when a new Linear project is created. Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token, so visibility matches what the connected user can see in Linear.
Action
Discover Figma Resources
🔍 smart figma resource discovery - never guess ids again! 🎯 easiest method: just paste any figma url to get all ids: • file urls: https://www.figma.com/file/abc123/design → get file key • design urls: https://www.figma.com/design/abc123/design → get file key • node urls: ...?node-id=123:456 → get file key + node id • team urls: .../team/123456/... → get team id 🔄 step-by-step discovery: 1. team id → projects list (with project ids) 2. project id → files list (with file keys + thumbnails) 3. file key → nodes list (with node ids + hierarchy) 💡 common workflows: • extract from url: discoverfigmaresources(figma url="...") • browse team: discoverfigmaresources(team id="123") • list files: discoverfigmaresources(project id="proj 456") • find nodes: discoverfigmaresources(file key="abc123") ✨ get file key for getfilejson, node ids for detectbackground, etc.
Why this helps
Founders can lose focus in the first project setup step, hunting through Figma for files that may already exist.
- Surfaces likely existing design files early.
- Avoids duplicate project setup searches.
- Keeps the new project connected to its design 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.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to use the new project's name and context to search visible Figma resources and report the strongest existing file or project matches.
- 4Choose the Linear Project Created trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a new real project and verify the suggested Figma resource is relevant.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a Figma file?
No. It discovers and reports likely existing resources so the user can decide where work belongs.
Can it search across a team?
The Figma discovery action can explore visible team, project, file, and node resources.

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.
