"content": "Figma fire event - ping slack\n\n### How it works\n\nThis workflow monitors three Figma event types: library published, file comment, and file deleted. Each trigger runs through its own formatting code node to create an appropriate Slack message, then all formatted messages converge into a single Slack posting node. It provides an internal event log in Slack for key Figma activity.\n\n### Setup steps\n\n- Configure the Figma trigger credentials and webhook/event subscriptions for library publish, file comment, and file delete events.\n- Configure the Slack credentials on the Post to Slack node and select the target workspace and channel.\n- Review each formatting code node to confirm it matches the actual Figma payload fields and produces the Slack message format expected by the Slack node.\n- Activate the workflow and test each Figma event type to verify the notification reaches Slack.\n\n### Customization\n\nAdjust the three formatting code nodes to change message text, include links or metadata, mention users, or add routing logic. The Slack node can be pointed to a different channel for staging, production, or event-specific logging."
