Ways Notis can move work from Google Drive to E2b

View example

Analyze New Drive Files in a Sandbox

Launch an E2B sandbox when a new Drive file arrives, ready for a code-based review or analysis.

View example

Review Document Comments with Sandbox Logs

When a new comment appears in a Drive document, retrieve E2B logs to help surface relevant execution context.

View example

Check Sandbox Status When a Drive File Is Shared

When Drive grants new file access, look up the E2B sandbox details tied to that file or project.

View example

Pause Analysis Sandboxes When Source Files Change

When a Drive file changes, pause the related running E2B sandbox to preserve its state for a later review.

View example

Clean Up Sandboxes for Trashed Drive Files

When a Drive file is trashed or deleted, terminate the associated E2B sandbox if its identifier is available.

View example

Check E2B Health on Drive Changes

Use a Drive change event to check whether the E2B API is operational before starting dependent work.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to E2b. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Google Drive triggers

E2b actions

Recurring trigger

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

TriggerScheduled

Connect to Sandbox

Tool to connect to an existing E2B sandbox and retrieve its details. Use when you need to reconnect to a sandbox from different environments or resume a paused sandbox. The TTL is extended upon connection.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

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

TriggerInstant

Create Template

Tool to create a new E2B template with specified configuration. Use when you need to define a new sandbox template that can be used to spawn sandbox environments.

ActionInstant

Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)

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

TriggerPolling

Create Webhook

Tool to register a new webhook to receive sandbox lifecycle events for the team. Use when you need to set up notifications for sandbox lifecycle events such as creation, updates, or termination.

ActionInstant

File Created

Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.

TriggerPolling

Delete Sandbox

Tool to terminate and permanently delete a running E2B sandbox instance. Use when you need to kill a sandbox that is no longer needed. Once terminated, the sandbox cannot be resumed.

ActionInstant

File Deleted or Trashed

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

TriggerPolling

Delete Webhook

Tool to unregister a webhook and stop receiving lifecycle events. Use when you need to remove a webhook that is no longer needed or to clean up webhook registrations.

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

Check API Health

Tool to check the health status of the E2B API. Use when you need to verify that the API service is operational and accessible.

ActionInstant

File Updated

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

TriggerPolling

Get Sandbox

Tool to retrieve detailed information about a specific sandbox by its ID. Use when you need to check sandbox status, metadata, or configuration details.

ActionInstant

Google Drive Changes

Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.

TriggerPolling

Get Sandbox Logs

Tool to retrieve logs from a specific E2B sandbox instance. Use when you need to debug or monitor sandbox execution by viewing its console output and system logs.

Trigger Types

Four ways to start an automation.

A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.

Integration triggers

Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.

New Notion pageStripe chargeCalendar event

Webhook triggers

A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.

Recurring triggers

Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.

Database triggers

Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.

Why AI automation

Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.

Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
