Action
Refresh Sandbox
Tool to refresh an E2B sandbox and extend its time to live. Use when you need to keep a sandbox alive longer and prevent it from timing out.
Why this helps
A sandbox can time out while attention is on the work, creating a preventable interruption.
- Extend sandbox TTL when work is ongoing
- Start the refresh from an existing request flow
- Keep the result in a report
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect E2B once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe the outcome: refresh the E2B sandbox identified by the incoming request and report the result.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real request and the sandbox ID.
