Create a project notebook from a new Slack channel
Give each project a clean place for scripts, files, and early notes.
Trigger
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
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
Project channels open before anyone prepares a usable technical workspace.
- Creates consistency at kickoff
- Separates project files cleanly
- Makes prototyping easier
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Codeinterpreter once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation for project notebook workspaces.
- 3Tell Notis to create a sandbox for the new channel topic and include a short starter note with expected analysis tasks.
- 4Pick New Channel Created as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test by creating one project channel.

Slackbot triggers
Codeinterpreter actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Sandbox

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.

DEPRECATED: use `SLACK_MESSAGE_REACTION_ADDED` instead. Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack.
