Clarify prototype behavior from a Slack question
When someone asks how a prototype moves between states, retrieve its interactions and flows from Figma to focus the discussion on the actual behavior.
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
Extract Prototype Interactions
Extract prototype interactions and animations from figma files. analyzes the prototype data to extract: - user interactions (clicks, hovers, etc.) - transition animations - component variant states - user flows and navigation
Why this helps
Prototype behavior is easy to misremember, and explaining it can lead to repeated clicks and context switching.
- Surfaces interactions relevant to a behavior question.
- Cuts down manual prototype exploration.
- Helps product and design teammates discuss the same flow.
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 when a prototype behavior question should trigger interaction extraction and how to find the right file.
- 3Choose the Slack Channel Message Received trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one real prototype question and verify the extracted flow details match the intended design.
Questions about this workflow
What prototype details can this action return?
It can extract user interactions, transitions, component variant states, and user flows from a Figma file.
Does it edit the prototype?
No. It extracts interaction details for reference.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Slack to Figma. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Slack 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.
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
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`.
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Create dev resources
Creates and attaches multiple uniquely-urled development resources to specified figma nodes, up to 10 per node.
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
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`.
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Delete a comment
Deletes a specific comment from a figma file or branch, provided the authenticated user is the original author of the comment.
Message Reaction Removed
Triggered when a reaction is removed from a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Delete a reaction
Deletes a specific emoji reaction from a comment in a figma file; the user must have originally created the reaction.
Reaction Added Trigger
DEPRECATED: use `SLACK_MESSAGE_REACTION_ADDED` instead. Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack.
Delete a webhook
Permanently deletes an existing webhook, identified by its unique `webhook id`; this operation is irreversible.
