Pause a research sandbox while preserving its state
When a research window ends, pause the sandbox so the team can return to its preserved state later.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Pause Sandbox
Pause a sandbox while preserving its files and memory for later resumption.
Why this helps
An idle sandbox can keep running after analysis is finished, while terminating it would lose the work state.
- Pause a running sandbox when the work window ends.
- Preserve filesystem and memory state for later resumption.
- Avoid terminating an environment that may still be useful.

- 1Connect Ahrefs and E2B once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to pause the specified E2B sandbox when its Ahrefs research window is complete.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real example and include the sandbox ID.
