Start a Python sandbox from a sent email
Create a fresh workspace from a send event, then use it for a separate, clearly scoped analysis task.
Trigger
Email Sent
Triggers when a Gmail message is sent by the authenticated user. It polls the 'SENT' label and emits metadata including sender, recipients, subject, timestamp, and thread ID.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Starting an isolated coding workspace can break the flow when a sent message is the cue to begin analysis.
- Create a sandbox when a sent event occurs.
- Use an isolated workspace for follow-on analysis.
- Keep the trigger and sandbox creation easy to understand.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Codeinterpreter once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and name the sandbox use case.
- 3Tell Notis in one instruction when a new sandbox should be created and what context to include.
- 4Choose the Email Sent trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real sent email and verify the sandbox is created.
Questions about this workflow
Does creating the sandbox analyze the email?
No. This action creates the sandbox. Request code execution as a separate action if you want a Python analysis.
What email context is available?
The sent trigger emits sender, recipients, subject, timestamp, and thread ID.

Gmail 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.
Email Sent
Triggers when a Gmail message is sent by the authenticated user. It polls the 'SENT' label and emits metadata including sender, recipients, subject, timestamp, and thread ID.
Get File
Get a file from the sandbox and returns the file. the files should be read from /home/user folder.
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
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.
Upload File
Upload a file to the sandbox environment. the files should be uploaded to the /home/user folder.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Gmail and Codeinterpreter, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
