Keep a Needed Sandbox Available Longer

When a task still depends on an environment, send a request to refresh the specified sandbox and extend its lifetime.

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

A useful sandbox can time out while work is waiting on a follow-up or decision.

  • Refresh a sandbox when a request confirms the work still needs it.
  • Extend its time to live with the E2B refresh action.
  • Keep the extension tied to an explicit task request.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Ai ml api and E2b once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation that refreshes a supplied sandbox ID when the request confirms it is still needed.
  • 3Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 4Test with one real sandbox that should remain available.

Questions about this workflow

Does refresh set a specific timeout duration?

The Refresh Sandbox action extends the time to live. Use Set Sandbox Timeout if a specific timeout value is required.

Does the action preserve sandbox state?

The action is described as refreshing the sandbox and extending its time to live. For pausing while preserving filesystem and memory state, use Pause Sandbox.
