Get notified when shared Figma files are viewed

Get notified when shared Figma files are viewed (with identity and context)
Share your Figma file through Send to get instant view alerts with who opened, where, device, and how long. Route notifications to Slack, email, or your CRM so you can follow up while attention is fresh, and use AI Chat and Suggested Questions to resolve questions without another meeting.
When this is useful
Timely, contextual alerts turn generic “views” into actionable signals. Send adds identity capture, AI guidance, and webhooks on top of your existing Figma file.
- You need immediate alerts when stakeholders open or re‑open a Figma link
- You want automatic CRM logging and team notifications
- You want in‑page answers via AI, so fewer status meetings
Step‑by‑step: set up Figma view notifications in minutes
These steps keep setup simple and outcome‑focused. Use the Chrome extension or the Send app.
1. Add your Figma file to Send
- Open the Figma file and click the blue "Add to Send" button from Send’s Chrome extension, or go to send.co → New Document → paste your Figma URL. Your file loads inside Send with AI Chat beside it.
2. Configure link settings and alerts
- Open Link Settings. If you need identity, require Name and Email before viewing. You can also capture Phone and optionally hide content until submitted.
- Go to Webhooks. Toggle "Document open" to emit an event on every view and re‑open. Optionally enable "Any link open" to track clicks from AI answers or Suggested Questions.
3. Route events to your tools
- Choose Clay, Zapier, or Make to deliver alerts and update records. Common flows: post to a Slack channel, create or update a CRM contact, add an Activity, or trigger a follow‑up task.
Why this is faster with Send
Typical Figma sharing gives you limited visibility. With Send, you get real‑time alerts plus AI that answers questions in context. That shortens cycles and improves your next touch.
- Instant notifications on views and re‑opens for perfect timing
- AI Chat reduces back‑and‑forth and unblocks decisions
- Suggested Questions steer attention to pricing, scope, and next steps
- Analytics show who viewed, location, device, and total time
Troubleshooting & tips
Small tweaks make signals reliable and actionable.
Not receiving alerts
- Verify the Webhook toggle and destination URL or Zap are enabled. Send a test event from Webhooks settings.
Views without identity
- Turn on a viewer gate for Name and Email. For known contacts, use a personalized link with a custom slug to identify them without a form.
Off‑topic questions in AI
- Tighten Suggested Questions to decision points. Attach an AI Profile with case studies and a calendar link so AI can surface them on request.
Sensitive files
- Disable download/print for attachments. Keep one link and use Replace file to update assets without creating new URLs.

Keep systems in sync automatically so the right person acts at the right time.
