Give new course files an isolated review space
Course files can arrive without warning. Have an E2B sandbox ready for the next review step.
Trigger
New Canvas File Upload
Polls a Canvas course for new file uploads.
Action
Create Sandbox
Tool to create a new E2B sandbox from a template. Use when you need to launch a fresh sandbox environment for code execution, testing, or development purposes.
Why this helps
When files arrive across courses, it is easy to lose track of which ones still need a technical review environment.
- Create a sandbox as soon as a course file is uploaded.
- Keep follow-up work in a dedicated environment.
- Reduce the time between upload and review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and E2B once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation for course file review.
- 3Tell Notis to create an E2B sandbox for each new course file, using your existing template and settings.
- 4Pick the New Canvas File Upload trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real file upload and confirm the sandbox was created.
Questions about this workflow
Does the workflow copy the uploaded file into E2B?
The listed E2B action creates a sandbox. It does not describe a file transfer, so provide any required file handling through a separate supported step.
Can I limit it to a particular course?
The trigger polls a Canvas course for new file uploads. Select the appropriate course when choosing the trigger, if the setup offers that choice.
