Why this helps
An unfinished investigation can leave a sandbox running when your attention has moved to other work.
- Pause a running sandbox when a device investigation is waiting or complete for now.
- Preserve filesystem and memory state for later resumption.
- Reduce the effort of tracking which sandboxes should remain active.
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 how an incoming completion or pause request should identify the sandbox to pause.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one running sandbox whose work is ready to pause.
