Set a clear lifetime for document analysis sandboxes
Give a document analysis environment an intentional timeout using the sandbox ID and duration supplied with its request.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Set Sandbox Timeout
Change how long a sandbox remains active before timing out.
Why this helps
A sandbox lifetime that does not match the work can cause interruptions or leave environments running longer than intended.
- Set the timeout on a specific E2B sandbox.
- Use request context to apply the intended duration.
- Keep timeout changes and run results visible in one report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and E2B once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to set the E2B sandbox timeout using the sandbox ID and duration included in the request.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request using a valid sandbox ID and intended timeout.
Questions about this workflow
What does the timeout measure?
The timeout is measured from the current time. Calling the action again overwrites the previous TTL.
Can the workflow decide the duration on its own?
Your instruction or incoming request needs to specify the intended duration. The action sets the timeout you provide.
