To receive email in app engine, see e.g https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/mail/receivingmail (there are similar docs for other app engine languages like Java and Go if you prefer those to Python).
To spin up and otherwise control compute engine VMs from app engine, see e.g http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17393574/oauth-starting-a-google-compute-instance-from-within-google-app-engine and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18389215/google-app-engine-service-account-to-start-cloud-compute-instances , and links from those Stack Overflow threads.
