Triggers

When this happens…

Figma

Dev Mode Status Updated Real-time
Fires when a layer is marked as "Ready for Dev", "Completed", or has its Dev Mode status cleared. Useful for triggering handoff notifications to developers or updating project tracking tools.
File Deleted Real-time
Fires when any file within the subscribed context is deleted. Useful for cleanup workflows, audit logging, or triggering alerts.
File Updated Real-time
Fires when any change is saved to a file within the subscribed context. Use this to trigger downstream syncs, notifications, or exports whenever a designer updates their work.
File Version Created Real-time
Fires when a designer explicitly saves a named version (via File → Save to Version History). Useful for triggering handoff, snapshot archival, or approval workflows.
Library Published Real-time
Fires when components, styles, or variables are published from a library file. A separate event fires per asset type (components, styles, variables). Useful for syncing design tokens, triggering Storybook updates, or notifying dev teams of design system changes.
New File Comment Real-time
Fires whenever a user adds a comment or reply to any file within the subscribed team, project, or file context. Useful for routing design feedback to Slack, Jira, or email.

Actions

Do this…

Figma

Create Dev Resources
Attaches one or more dev resources (external URLs like tickets, PRs, or documentation) to specific nodes in a Figma file.
Create Webhook
Creates a webhook that sends a POST request to your endpoint when the specified event fires. A PING event is sent immediately upon creation to verify the endpoint. Webhooks can be attached to a team, project, or individual file.
Delete Comment
Permanently deletes a comment. Only the author of the comment can delete it.
Delete Dev Resource
Permanently deletes a dev resource attachment from a Figma node.
Delete Webhook
Deletes the specified webhook. This action is irreversible. The webhook will immediately stop sending events.
Get Activity Logs
Returns audit/activity log entries for the organization. Requires Enterprise plan and Figma for Government base URL. Supports filtering by event type and date range.
Get Comments
Returns all comments left on a file, including their author, position, thread structure, and creation timestamp.
Get Component by Key
Returns detailed metadata for a specific published component identified by its component key.
Get Current User
Returns the Figma account details (ID, email, handle, avatar) for the user or application that owns the access token.
Get Dev Resources
Returns dev resources (external links like Jira tickets, PRs, docs) attached to specific nodes in a file. Optionally filter by node IDs.
Get File
Returns the complete document tree for a Figma file as JSON, including all nodes, components, styles, and metadata. Supports filtering by node IDs and tree depth to limit response size.
Get File Components
Returns all component metadata published from the given file.
Get File Metadata
Returns file metadata including name, last touched info, creator, and thumbnail URL. Much lighter than Get File — no document tree included.
Get File Nodes
Returns the JSON subtrees for specified node IDs in a Figma file, along with their component and style metadata.
Get File Styles
Returns style metadata for all styles published from the given file.
Get File Versions
Returns a paginated list of all saved versions for a file, ordered by creation date (newest first). Each version includes the version ID, label, description, and the user who created it.
Get Image Fill URLs
Returns a mapping of image references to signed S3 download URLs for all images used as fills in the file. URLs expire within 14 days.
Get Local Variables
Returns all local variables created in the file plus any remote variables used in the file. Enterprise plan required.
Get Project Files
Returns a list of files within a project. Each file entry includes its key, name, thumbnail, and last modified date.
Get Published Variables
Returns all variables and variable collections published from the file. Enterprise plan required.
Get Style by Key
Returns detailed metadata for a specific published style by its key.
Get Team Components
Returns metadata for all components published to a team library, including component name, description, thumbnail, and linked file.
Get Team Projects
Returns a list of projects for the specified team. Requires the projects:read scope. Note: Project endpoints require approval from Figma for new apps.
Get Team Styles
Returns metadata for all styles (fill, text, effect, grid) published to a team library.
Get Webhook
Returns the full details of a registered webhook by its ID.
Get Webhook Request Log
Returns all event payloads sent by a webhook in the past week. Useful for debugging delivery failures or verifying event structure.
List Webhooks
Returns all webhooks attached to a specific context. Alternatively, use plan_api_id to list all webhooks across all contexts.
Post Comment
Posts a new top-level comment or reply on a Figma file. You can optionally anchor the comment to a specific position on the canvas or reply to an existing root comment.
Post Comment Reaction
Adds an emoji reaction to an existing comment. Accepts standard emoji shortcodes such as :heart: or :+1:.
Render Images from File
Renders the specified nodes as images and returns download URLs. Supports JPG, PNG, SVG, and PDF output formats. Exported image URLs expire after 30 days.
Update Webhook
Updates one or more properties (event type, endpoint, passcode, status, or description) of an existing webhook.
