Notis

Give an incoming work request a fresh sandbox

Turn a request that needs an isolated environment into a new E2B sandbox from the template it specifies.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Create Sandbox

Launch a new sandbox from a template.

Why this helps

Setting up a fresh sandbox by hand adds delay between receiving a request and getting an environment ready.

  • Create a sandbox from a specified E2B template.
  • Keep the incoming request context together with the sandbox creation run.
  • Avoid manually switching tools to start an environment.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Ably and E2B once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what you want from any channel.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a sandbox from the template identified in an incoming request.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real request that names a valid template.

Questions about this workflow

Does this workflow create a template too?

No. It creates a sandbox from a template. The request must identify a template that is available to your team.

Can an Ably event start this directly?

Ably trigger events are not available here. A Notis webhook can start the workflow when an external system sends an HTTP request.
