Give an Abstract follow-up the sandbox time it needs
When a request describes a follow-up job, set the timeout for its sandbox to match the intended work window.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Set Sandbox Timeout
Change how long a sandbox remains active before timing out.
Why this helps
A sandbox can time out during follow-up work or stay alive longer than the job needs if its timeout is not adjusted.
- Set a sandbox lifetime in response to a specific task.
- Make the intended work window explicit in the request.
- Reduce manual timeout adjustments.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Abstract and E2B once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to set the specified timeout for the sandbox named in each request.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request specifying a sandbox and timeout.
Questions about this workflow
How is the timeout measured?
The timeout is measured from the current time. Calling the action again overwrites the previous TTL.
Does this action create a sandbox?
No. It sets the timeout for an existing sandbox identified by the request.
