Keep an investigation sandbox alive when work resumes
When a device request means an investigation is active again, refresh its sandbox to extend its time to live.
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
Returning to device work only to find a sandbox has timed out adds avoidable setup and context switching.
- Refresh a specified sandbox when a device-related request arrives.
- Extend sandbox time to live without a separate manual lookup.
- Make resuming an investigation easier to handle from its incoming request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and E2B once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what outcome you want from any channel.
- 3Describe which sandbox should be refreshed when the incoming request indicates work has resumed.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Send one test request for a sandbox you want to keep available.
