Action
Set Sandbox Timeout
Change how long a sandbox remains active before timing out.
Why this helps
Research sandboxes can stay alive longer than needed when nobody remembers to adjust their timeout.
- Set the timeout for a specified sandbox on a schedule.
- Align sandbox lifetime with a planned research window.
- Reduce manual timeout changes.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 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 set a specified timeout for the E2B sandbox used for Ahrefs research.
- 4Pick a schedule and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real example and provide the sandbox ID and intended timeout.
Questions about this workflow
How is the timeout measured?
The timeout is measured from the current time, and a later call overwrites the previous TTL.
Can the automation decide the right timeout?
Specify the intended timeout in your instruction. The listed action does not provide a scheduling recommendation.
