FILE_VERSION_UPDATE not triggered

Hi all,

 

I’m using n8n to trigger automation when a new file version is manually created in my team.

I’ve used other Figma webhooks with success but FILE_VERSION_UPDATE seems pretty inconsistent. 

I’ve had it triggered 2+ hours after a version is created, or no response at all.

Is it a known issue? If yes, can we have a deadline on its resolve?

I’ve never got an answer here or with the ticket I’ve submitted so here’s my workaround if it can help you : 

  • Create cron to trigger your workflow every X minutes 
  • Get your projects from Figma API
  • Get your project’s files from Figma API
  • Filter only recent files 
  • Get file version from Figma API
  • Detect only new versions from these files
  • Use a code node to filter the auto-saves out
