Does GAIA notify the specific person mentioned in a Figma comment?

Yes. If a Figma comment mentions a team member with @, GAIA can DM them in Slack so they are personally notified of the mention.

Can developers reply to Figma comments from Slack?

GAIA can post replies back to Figma comment threads on behalf of a connected user. Responding to feedback without leaving Slack is possible with this setup.

Automate Figma + Slack with GAIA

Get Figma design updates and comment alerts directly in Slack

Design teams share Figma files with product managers, engineers, and stakeholders who have no reliable way to know when designs change. Important comment threads in Figma go unnoticed by developers who are heads-down in Slack, causing feedback loops to stall and designs to ship without incorporating requested changes.

GAIA connects Figma and Slack so design activity surfaces where the team already communicates. New comments, frame updates, and version publishes in Figma appear as Slack notifications in the right channel, ensuring stakeholders stay informed and feedback gets actioned quickly.

4 things you can automate

Everything GAIA can do when Figma and Slack are connected.

Comment notifications in Slack

When a comment is added to a Figma file, GAIA posts a notification to the Slack channel with the commenter name, comment text, and a direct link to the frame. Feedback is visible instantly.

Design version published alerts

When a designer publishes a new Figma version, GAIA notifies the product and engineering Slack channels. Stakeholders know a design is ready for review without polling Figma.

Frame status change notifications

When a frame is tagged as 'Ready for Development' in Figma, GAIA alerts the engineering Slack channel. Handoffs happen automatically without a separate message.

Daily design activity digest

GAIA posts a morning summary of yesterday's Figma activity — new comments, resolved threads, and version changes — to the design Slack channel. The team starts each day aligned.
