Keep new design requests moving in Figma
A new request should not become another item to remember. Put a clear review nudge where the design work happens.
Trigger
New Page
Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.
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
New requests can disappear between planning and design when the founder has to remember to open Figma and start the review.
- Makes new design work visible beside the related file.
- Creates a consistent review starting point without a manual handoff.
- Helps reduce the chance that a request sits unnoticed.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Figma to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations or tell Notis the outcome you want in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to find the related Figma file for each new Notion design request and add a concise review comment.
- 4Choose the Notion New Page trigger and a channel for run reports, then test with one real request.
Questions about this workflow
What should the instruction tell Notis to comment?
Ask it to summarize the request's goal and invite the team to review the related design. Keep the wording useful and specific.
Does this work if a request has no related Figma file?
The instruction can ask Notis to report that it could not identify a relevant file instead of posting a comment in the wrong place.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Figma. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion 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.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
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`.
Comment Created
Triggers when a new comment is created in Notion. Optional `page_id` filter scopes to comments on a specific page. When omitted, fires for any new comment in the workspace the integration has access to. Requires the 'Read comments' capability on the Notion integration. If a connection was authorized before that capability was enabled, the user must re-authorize the connection for comment events to flow.
Create dev resources
Creates and attaches multiple uniquely-urled development resources to specified figma nodes, up to 10 per node.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
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`.
Database Created
Triggers when a new Notion database (the container) is created. A database is the post-2025-09-03 container that holds one or more data sources. This trigger fires for the container's creation event (`database.created`), distinct from `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` which fires when a new data source is added to an existing database. Most customers calling Notion's `POST /v1/databases` (the legacy API) or creating a database via the Notion UI will see this event. Adding a new data source to an existing database fires `data_source.created` instead — use `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` for that. Notion's payload puts `entity.type: "block"` (the container is a `child_database` block in the content tree) and `entity.id` is the database id.
Delete a comment
Deletes a specific comment from a figma file or branch, provided the authenticated user is the original author of the comment.
Data Source Created
Triggers when a new Notion data source is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload's `data.parent` carries the data source's tree parent (typically the teamspace) for downstream filtering. A single template-based database creation can fire multiple `data_source.created` events at once — one per data source the template instantiates.
Delete a reaction
Deletes a specific emoji reaction from a comment in a figma file; the user must have originally created the reaction.
Data Source Schema Updated
Triggers when a Notion data source's schema is updated. Fires on column add / remove / rename. Payload includes `data.updated_properties: [{id, name, action}]` so consumers can discriminate the kind of change downstream. Optional `data_source_id` filter scopes to schema changes on a single data source. When omitted, fires for any schema change in the workspace the integration has access to. Note: adding a column also fires `page.properties_updated` once per existing row in the data source. Customers wanting a single structural-change signal should use this trigger.
Delete a webhook
Permanently deletes an existing webhook, identified by its unique `webhook id`; this operation is irreversible.
