Resume work in an existing E2B sandbox

Pick up a paused or existing sandbox with its current context, instead of rebuilding the environment from scratch.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Connect to Sandbox

Connect to an existing sandbox and view its details.

Why this helps

When a document job pauses, finding and reconnecting to the right execution environment can become another task to remember.

  • Reconnect to an existing sandbox from another environment.
  • Retrieve sandbox details when resuming work.
  • Extend the sandbox TTL on connection.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect ActiveMerge and E2B once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation and describe how an incoming request identifies the sandbox to resume.
  • 3Choose the Notis webhook trigger and arrange for requests to reach it.
  • 4Choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with a real request for an existing sandbox.

Questions about this workflow

Will this create a new sandbox?

No. The selected E2B action connects to an existing sandbox and retrieves its details.

What information is needed to identify the sandbox?

The request needs to provide enough information to identify the existing sandbox. The action description does not specify a request format.
