Figma posts comment and mention notifications through its Slack app. Figma has no native Teams notification integration, and SyncRivo does not relay bot or app messages.
SyncRivo bridges the human conversation — design teams in Slack and stakeholders in Teams discuss the work in one bridged channel.
Comments, mentions, version updates, and library publishes — delivered by Figma's Slack app, notifications, and webhooks.
Figma comment notifications posted to the design team's Slack channel by the Figma Slack app — the start of a review discussion SyncRivo can bridge to Teams.
@mention notifications in Figma files delivered by Figma's own notifications, so time-sensitive design feedback reaches the right person.
Design handoff signals — when a file is updated to a new version — available through Figma notifications and webhooks.
Design system component library updates, available through Figma notifications and webhooks for consuming teams.
Version milestones in Figma files that teams can discuss in a bridged channel for progress visibility.
File deletion events in shared projects, available through Figma webhooks for team lead awareness.
Figma posts the notifications; SyncRivo bridges the discussion.
Example layout: Figma posts to Slack via its app; Teams entries show where the human discussion is bridged by SyncRivo.
| Figma Event | Native Integration Posts To | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Comment added (design file) | → Slack #design-team | Designers notified in Slack without monitoring Figma notifications |
| @mention in comment | → Slack DM to mentioned user | Mentioned person notified immediately in Slack regardless of Figma notification settings |
| File version updated (handoff) | → Slack #engineering (discussion bridged to Teams #product) | Engineering lead in Slack and PM in Teams discuss the handoff in one conversation |
| Design system library published | → Slack #design-system (discussion bridged to Teams #product) | Design system consumers on Teams can follow the discussion |
| Client review file updated | → Slack #client-review (discussion bridged to Teams #client-success) | Account team in Teams joins the review discussion |
| File deleted (shared project) | → Slack #design-leads | Design leads alerted in Slack for review before deletion causes downstream issues |
| Capability | Figma Native | SyncRivo |
|---|---|---|
| Notify Slack | ✓ Via Figma Slack app | — Not relayed (SyncRivo does not relay bot or app posts) |
| Notify Microsoft Teams | ✗ No native Teams notification integration | — Not provided; SyncRivo does not receive Figma webhooks |
| Human discussion across Slack, Teams, Webex, Google Chat, Zoom | ✗ Not available | ✓ Bridged channels, threads, edits and files |
| Setup | Configured in Figma | First channel bridge typically live during onboarding, after admin approval |
Figma does not have a native Microsoft Teams integration for notifications. Figma's notification system supports in-app notifications and email digests, and the Figma Slack app provides Slack notifications. SyncRivo does not fill the Teams gap: it does not accept Figma webhooks and does not relay messages posted by bots or apps. It bridges the human conversation, so designers on Slack and stakeholders on Teams can discuss a design together in one bridged channel.
Figma supports Slack notifications via the Figma Slack app, which sends comment and mention notifications to a Slack channel. SyncRivo does not relay those app posts to other platforms, but it can bridge the human design discussion in that channel with Teams, Webex, Google Chat, or Zoom.
Figma's own Slack app and email notifications cover delivery; other destinations require the Figma REST API or an automation tool you manage. SyncRivo does not route Figma notifications. It bridges the human discussion, so the design team in Slack and engineering leads in Teams can review a handoff in one conversation.
No. SyncRivo does not accept webhooks from Figma or other tools, and it does not relay messages posted by bots or apps. Figma's REST API webhooks (FILE_COMMENT, FILE_UPDATE, FILE_VERSION_UPDATE, FILE_DELETE, LIBRARY_PUBLISH) need a receiver you manage. SyncRivo bridges the human discussion between chat platforms.
None — SyncRivo does not route Figma events. Figma's Slack app, email notifications, and webhooks deliver comments, mentions, version updates, and library publishes. SyncRivo bridges the messages people write about that design work across Slack, Teams, Google Chat, Webex, and Zoom Team Chat.
They do different jobs. Figma's Slack app posts Figma notifications into Slack. SyncRivo is a messaging interoperability platform that bridges human conversations between Slack, Teams, Google Chat, Webex, and Zoom Team Chat — it does not relay bot or app messages, so it complements rather than replaces Figma's notifications.
