I have a use case where, whenever an issue occurs, I want to execute a specific Jupyter notebook cell. After execution, I need the interactive output of the cell to be automatically sent to someone via email or MS Teams.

Could anyone advise on how to achieve this in JupyterHub? Is there a way to capture the output of a cell and send it programmatically to a recipient via email or Teams chat?

Thank you for your help!

You could write a custom JupyterLab plugin to capture the cell output:

> I am able to access a cell model and its corresponding widget. How can I get the corresponding output model? I would like to know the output expression (“b”) and its corresponding value (“3”). (My aim is to use this information for building a DAG of the “simple” cells, having a single named output.) [image] As a workaround, I could get the output value “3” from the div element of the widget dom e.g. with let div = cellWidget.outputArea.node.children[0] extractOutputValueFromDiv(div) However…

and send it using an MSTeams or email API.

Though it’d be a lot easier to make the API call in a notebook cell instead of trying to capture the output.
