Make accessibility follow-up easier to start

When a teammate raises an accessibility concern, retrieve the related design context so the review can begin with the relevant screen or component in view.

Trigger

Channel Message Received

Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.

Action

Get file json

Get figma file data with automatic simplification. this enhanced version automatically transforms verbose figma json into clean, ai-friendly format with: - css-like property names - deduplicated variables - removed empty values - 70%+ size reduction use simplify=false to get raw api response.

Why this helps

Accessibility follow-up can stall while the team searches for the right screen and reconstructs the concern's design context.

  • Brings the relevant design structure into accessibility follow-up.
  • Reduces setup time before a focused review.
  • Helps preserve the context behind a concern.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Figma to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation and describe in plain language which accessibility concerns warrant retrieving file context and how to find the relevant Figma design.
  • 3Select the Slack Channel Message Received trigger and a channel for run reports.
  • 4Test with one real accessibility note and verify the context points to the correct screen or component.

Questions about this workflow

Does this assess accessibility automatically?

This workflow retrieves Figma file context; the review instruction should avoid treating retrieved structure as an accessibility verdict.

Can it focus on a particular screen?

Include how to identify the relevant screen or component from the Slack discussion in the prompt.
