Process approved email data tasks with Composio bash
Move repetitive file and data operations out of your inbox and into a controlled remote command.
Trigger
New Outlook Message
Triggered when a new message is received in the Outlook mailbox.
Action
Run bash commands
Execute bash commands in a REMOTE sandbox for file operations, data processing, and system tasks. Essential for handling large tool responses saved to remote files. **Hard 3-minute (180s) execution limit** — break large tasks into smaller commands. PRIMARY USE CASES: - Process large tool responses saved by COMPOSIO_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL to remote sandbox - File system operations, extract specific information from JSON with shell tools like jq, awk, sed, grep, etc. - Commands run from /home/user directory by default
Why this helps
Small data tasks linger because they require a separate terminal step after the request arrives.
- Reduce manual terminal work
- Process approved data tasks quickly
- Return a clear command result
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Outlook and Composio once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named Email Data Command.
- 3Tell Notis to run only the approved bash operation described in each qualifying message and summarize stdout and errors.
- 4Pick New Outlook Message as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one harmless data task.
Questions about this workflow
Can it run any command?
Limit the allowed commands and files explicitly in the automation prompt.
Where does the command run?

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Outlook to Composio. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Outlook triggers
Composio actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Ask Oracle
Static helper that returns a comprehensive system prompt describing how to plan and execute tasks using the available composio tools and workflows. no inputs required; simply call to retrieve the prompt. always call this after the search tool is executed -- it will provide the best context on how to proceed, chain tools, and execute the task end-to-end. relevant tools referenced by the prompt: 1. composio search tools 2. composio multi execute tool 3. composio execute code 4. composio manage connections 5. composio bash tool
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Check active connection (deprecated)
Deprecated: use check active connections instead for bulk operations. check active connection status for a toolkit or specific connected account id. returns connection details if active, or required parameters for establishing connection if none exists. active connections enable agent actions on the toolkit.
New Contact Added
Triggered when a new contact is added in the Outlook contacts.
Check multiple active connections
Check active connection status for multiple toolkits or specific connected account ids. returns connection details if active, or required parameters for establishing connection if none exists. active connections enable agent actions on toolkits.
Calendar Event Changes
Triggered when a new calendar event occurs (created, updated, or deleted) in the Outlook calendar.
Create Plan
This is a workflow builder that ensures the LLM produces a complete, step-by-step plan for any use case. WHEN TO CALL: - Call this tool based on COMPOSIO_SEARCH_TOOLS output. If search tools response indicates create_plan should be called and the usecase is not easy, call it. - Use this tool after COMPOSIO_SEARCH_TOOLS or COMPOSIO_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS to generate an execution plan for the user's use case. - USE for medium or hard tasks — skip it for easy ones. - If the user switches to a new use case in the same chat and COMPOSIO_SEARCH_TOOLS again instructs you to call the planner, you MUST call this tool again for that new use case. Memory Integration: - You can choose to add the memory received from the search tool into the known_fields parameter of the plan function to enhance planning with discovered relationships and information. Outputs a complete plan with sections such as "workflow_steps", "complexity_assessment", "decision_matrix", "failure_handling" "output_format", and more as needed. If you skip this step for non-easy tasks, workflows will likely be incomplete, or fail during execution for complex tasks. Calling it guarantees reliable, accurate, and end-to-end workflows aligned with the available tools and connections.
New Calendar Event
Triggered when a new calendar event is created in the Outlook calendar.
Enable trigger
Enable a specific trigger for the authenticated user.
New Outlook Message
Triggered when a new message is received in the Outlook mailbox.
Execute agent
Execute complex workflows using ai agent reasoning between multiple tool calls. use this for: complex multi-step workflows requiring reasoning, error handling and retry logic. use composio multi execute tool instead for: simple parallel operations, batch operations on similar data (e.g., fetch 5 emails, get 10 sent messages, retrieve multiple user profiles), independent tool calls that don't need each other's results, or bulk operations where all parameters are known upfront. performance: agent calls add ~2-3 seconds overhead. use for workflows >3 tools or requiring conditional logic. avoid for simple parameter passing.
New Sent Message
Triggered when a new message is sent from the Outlook mailbox.
Execute Composio Tool
Execute a tool using the composio api.
Get Tool Dependency Graph
Get the dependency graph for a given tool, showing related parent tools that might be useful. this action calls the composio labs dependency graph api to retrieve tools that are commonly used together with or before the specified tool. this helps discover related tools and understand common workflows.
