FAQ

Questions about Figma Version Created.

How does the Figma Version Created trigger work in Figma?

Fires when a designer saves a named version — the discrete handoff moment. The hook for design-to-engineering automation: when v1.0 is saved, auto-create the engineering issue, post the version link to the team.

Is the Figma Version Created trigger real-time?

Yes. Figma Version Created uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in Figma.

What data does Figma Version Created return?

The full event payload from Figma. The output shape table on this page lists every field, its type, and an example value so you can map fields into downstream nodes.

Can I filter Figma Version Created so only some events start a workflow?

Yes. Add a Filter node right after the trigger and match on any field, whether that's subject, sender, status, or anything else in the payload. Workflows only continue when the filter passes.

Do I need Figma admin permissions to use Figma Version Created?

For most Figma accounts a standard user can authorize the trigger. Some Figma plans require an admin to enable third-party webhooks. Check Figma's docs if the trigger fails to register.
