Prepare a sandbox when a Canvas submission arrives
A new submission can start a review without another round of setup. Create a separate E2B sandbox for each one.
Trigger
New Canvas Assignment Submission
Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.
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
Setting up an environment for every new submission adds repetitive work and slows down review.
- Prepare a separate environment for each submission event.
- Reduce the manual setup before code review.
- Keep review work ready to resume in E2B.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and E2B once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and name it for submission review.
- 3Tell Notis to create an E2B sandbox when a new submission arrives, using the template and settings you specify.
- 4Pick the New Canvas Assignment Submission trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real submission and confirm the sandbox was created.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow run the submitted code?
No. The available E2B action creates a sandbox. Running code requires a separate supported tool or a later manual step.
Can I choose the sandbox template?
You can describe the template and settings to use in the automation instruction. Use a template that already exists in your E2B team.
