Action
Pause Sandbox
Pause a sandbox while preserving its files and memory for later resumption.
Why this helps
When work pauses, the sandbox can remain running and require a separate follow-up to suspend it.
- Pause a specified running sandbox from an explicit request.
- Preserve filesystem and memory state for later resumption.
- Make the hold action and result visible in a run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AccuLynx and E2B once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to pause the specified sandbox only when the request explicitly says the job is on hold, and summarize the result.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real hold request for a sandbox that is safe to pause.
