Built a tool that catches Figma design drift and alerts Slack automatically

Following up on the Context Auto-Maintainer post from a while back.built something in the same spirit, this time for the design side.

The problem: a designer changes something in Figma.corner radius, a color, spacing - and nobody finds out until it’s a mismatch in production. Same “silent drift” problem as AI losing codebase context, just on the design-to-code side instead.

Built an n8n workflow that polls tracked Figma components on a schedule, diffs them against the last known state, summarizes the change with AI, and posts a plain-English alert to Slack the same day it happens.

Requires Figma Professional plan or higher,Figma’s Starter/free tier caps API access too low for scheduled polling, found that out the hard way mid-build.

Happy to talk through the polling/diff logic if useful.
