Pause the sandbox named in a stop request
When an incoming request says work on a sandbox should pause, preserve its state with E2B's pause action.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Pause Sandbox
Pause a sandbox while preserving its files and memory for later resumption.
Why this helps
Pausing a sandbox requires a separate manual step, making it easy to leave an environment running after a stop request.
- Pause a running sandbox identified in an incoming request.
- Preserve the sandbox filesystem and memory state for later resumption.
- Reduce the chance of missing a requested pause.
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 pause the running sandbox identified by an incoming stop request.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request for a running sandbox.
Questions about this workflow
Can the paused sandbox be resumed later?
E2B says a paused sandbox preserves its filesystem and memory state and can be resumed. Paused sandboxes can be stored for up to 30 days.
Will this terminate the sandbox?
No. Pause Sandbox suspends a running sandbox while preserving its state. Delete Sandbox is a separate, permanent action.
