See the shape of new CSV data without building a notebook

Get a useful first chart and summary when a new data file arrives in Drive.

Trigger

File Created

Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.

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

New data often sits unopened because making a quick chart takes enough setup to push the task to later.

  • See distributions and trends at a glance
  • Avoid repetitive chart setup
  • Get a reusable output file from each new dataset

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive and Codeinterpreter once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation and give it a clear name.
  • 3Describe the chart and summary you want in one instruction, including preferred columns if known.
  • 4Pick File Created as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real CSV file.

Questions about this workflow

Will every new file produce a chart?

This trigger runs for newly created Drive files. State in your instruction which file types to analyze and how to handle files that are not datasets.

Can I choose chart types?

Yes. Include the chart type or the question you want the chart to answer in your instruction.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Codeinterpreter. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Google Drive triggers

Codeinterpreter actions

Recurring trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

TriggerScheduled

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.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

TriggerInstant

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.

ActionInstant

Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)

Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.

TriggerPolling

Get File

Get a file from the sandbox and returns the file. the files should be read from /home/user folder.

ActionInstant

File Created

Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.

TriggerPolling

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.

ActionInstant

File Deleted or Trashed

Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.

TriggerPolling

Upload File

Upload a file to the sandbox environment. the files should be uploaded to the /home/user folder.

ActionInstant

File Shared (Permissions Added)

Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.

TriggerPolling

File Updated

Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.

TriggerPolling

Google Drive Changes

Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
