Pause Sandbox
Tool to pause a running E2B sandbox preserving its filesystem and memory state. Use when you need to temporarily suspend a sandbox while maintaining its state for later resumption. Takes approximately 4 seconds per 1 GiB of RAM to pause. Paused sandboxes can be stored for up to 30 days.
Why this helps
Completed reporting sandboxes stay active because no one remembers to pause them.
- Preserve the sandbox filesystem and memory state
- Reduce unnecessary active runtime
- Make report completion a clean handoff
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 7shifts and E2b in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Pause Completed Shift Report.
- 3Tell Notis to pause the linked sandbox after the shift report is marked complete.
- 4Choose notis_webhook as the trigger for completion notifications.
- 5Pick a report channel and test with one completed report.
Questions about this workflow
Can the sandbox be resumed later?
Yes. A paused sandbox preserves its state for later resumption within its retention period.
What if the report is still being reviewed?
