Gate Figma handoffs on a completeness check before packaging

When a frame is submitted for handoff, this workflow verifies it meets readiness rules — named layers, bound tokens, export settings, a description — and either packages it…

What it does

Acts as a quality gate between design and engineering. Before anything gets packaged, it checks each submitted frame against your handoff readiness rules. Frames that pass are exported and filed; frames that fail get a specific punch list of what to fix, so incomplete designs never reach engineering.

When to use it

Use it when half-finished designs keep slipping into handoff — unnamed layers, missing export settings, no description — and engineering wastes cycles bouncing them back. This enforces the standard automatically and tells the designer exactly what to fix.

How it works

  1. 1A Figma webhook fires when a frame is submitted for handoff.
  2. 2The workflow pulls the frame's layers, bound variables, export settings, and description.
  3. 3A logic step scores the frame against the readiness rules and decides pass or fail.
  4. 4If it fails, the workflow posts the specific missing items back as a Figma comment and stops.
  5. 5If it passes, it exports the frame and assets and uploads them to the Dropbox handoff folder.
  6. 6It appends a ready row to the Coda checklist and returns the handoff link.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect FigmaFiles, frames, comments, assets.
  2. 2
    Connect DropboxFiles and folders.
  3. 3
    Connect CodaDocs, packs, automations.
  4. 4
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  5. 5
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  6. 6
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
