Refresh a sandbox when a job still needs it

Respond to an explicit follow-up by extending the sandbox lifetime, then report that the refresh was requested.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Refresh Sandbox

Extend a sandbox's lifetime to prevent it from timing out.

Why this helps

An active job can lose its sandbox when nobody remembers to extend its lifetime.

  • Refresh the existing sandbox identified by the request.
  • Extend its time to live as described by E2B.
  • Keep an explicit report of the follow-up action.

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 refresh the specified sandbox only when the request confirms it is still needed, and report the result.
  • 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real request for a sandbox that should remain available.

Questions about this workflow

Does refresh set a custom timeout?

The Refresh Sandbox action extends the sandbox's time to live. Use Set Sandbox Timeout if a specific timeout value is required.

Can the workflow decide whether a job still needs the sandbox?

The request or prompt must supply that decision. The available AccuLynx context does not list trigger events or job fields.
