Behind the Integration

The Figma Trigger (Beta) node works by establishing a webhook connection to Figma's API that monitors for specific events in your design files:

1. Event Detection: The trigger listens for actions like file updates, comments, or status changes
2. Webhook Activation: When a specified event occurs, Figma sends data to n8n
3. Workflow Initiation: n8n processes the event data and triggers your custom workflow
4. Action Execution: The workflow performs automated tasks across your connected applications

This event-driven architecture enables real-time responses to design activities, creating a truly reactive system that keeps all stakeholders and systems in sync as designs evolve.
