Turn Box file comments into data checks
When someone leaves a review note on a data file, have Notis run the Python check they asked for and send you the result.
Trigger
New File Comment Added
Triggers when a new comment is added to a file in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when new comments are detected.
Action
Execute Code
Execute python code in a sandbox and return any result, stdout, stderr, and error. use /home/user folder to write/read files. try to not use plt.show() as the code is executed remotely. use files for image/chart output instead.
Why this helps
Analysis requests buried in file comments are easy to overlook, and copying them into a coding tool adds another context switch.
- Surface analysis requests attached to the file they refer to
- Run the requested check in a Python sandbox
- Receive the result without watching comments manually
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Codeinterpreter once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and give it a clear name.
- 3In one instruction, explain how to interpret a new comment as a data-check request and what Python result to return.
- 4Pick the Box New File Comment Added trigger for the relevant file.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real comment and file.
Questions about this workflow
Can every comment be treated as a Python instruction?
Describe in the automation instruction which comments should prompt a check and the checks it may run. Keep the intended analysis clear and test with a real example.
Does the trigger monitor every Box file?
The listed trigger monitors a specific Box file. Select the file when choosing the trigger.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Box to Codeinterpreter. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Box triggers
Codeinterpreter actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Sandbox
Create a sandbox to execute python code in a jupyter notebook cell. this is useful for agents to communicate, execute code, see output, read files, write files, etc. it's like you own personal computer, but in the cloud. use /home/user folder to write/read files.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Execute Code
Execute python code in a sandbox and return any result, stdout, stderr, and error. use /home/user folder to write/read files. try to not use plt.show() as the code is executed remotely. use files for image/chart output instead.
Collaboration Details Changed
Triggers when a collaboration's details change (e.g., role, status, expiration). This trigger monitors a specific collaboration and detects when any meaningful field changes, such as role, status, expiration date, access type, or acknowledgment status.
Get File
Get a file from the sandbox and returns the file. the files should be read from /home/user folder.
Comment Changed
Triggers when a comment's content or details change in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box comment and detects when any meaningful field changes, such as message text edits, tagged message changes, or modification timestamp updates.
Run Terminal Command
Run a command in the terminal and returns the stdout, stderr, and error code. use /home/user folder to write/read files.
New File Comment Added
Triggers when a new comment is added to a file in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when new comments are detected.
Upload File
Upload a file to the sandbox environment. the files should be uploaded to the /home/user folder.
File Metadata Changed
Triggers when a file's metadata or properties change in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when changes are detected in key fields like name, description, size, modification time, parent folder, or status.
File Shared Link Changed
Triggers when a file's shared link settings change in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file's shared link and fires when changes are detected in the shared link configuration, such as access level, permissions, password protection, expiration date, or vanity URL.
New File Version Uploaded
Triggers when a new file version is uploaded to a file in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when new versions are detected.
