Carry project announcements into Figma
A channel post can contain a decision or design update worth keeping with the file. Let Notis carry the useful context into Figma.
Trigger
New Channel Post
Triggered when a new post is published to a channel where your bot is an administrator.
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
Important channel announcements can disappear beneath later updates before anyone adds them to the design record.
- Keeps relevant updates with the design file.
- Reduces manual re-entry of decisions.
- Makes project context easier to retrieve during review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Figma to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to carry design announcements into Figma.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction to explain which channel posts merit a file comment and how to identify the file.
- 4Choose the Telegram new channel post trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real design-related channel announcement.
Questions about this workflow
Will all channel posts be copied?
Describe in the instruction which announcements matter so Notis can focus on useful design context.
What access is needed for channel posts?
