Clean up sandboxes when work is finished
A task entering a cleanup stage can remove its no-longer-needed sandbox.
Trigger
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Action
Delete Sandbox
Tool to terminate and permanently delete a running E2B sandbox instance. Use when you need to kill a sandbox that is no longer needed. Once terminated, the sandbox cannot be resumed.
Why this helps
Finished work can leave running sandbox instances behind when cleanup is a separate manual task.
- Tie sandbox cleanup to a clear project milestone.
- Reduce forgotten environments after work is finished.
- Keep deletion results visible in the run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and E2B once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation for sandbox cleanup.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis which section signals cleanup and how to locate the associated sandbox ID.
- 4Pick Asana's Task Moved to Section trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test the instruction with one task and verify the sandbox reference before using it for cleanup.
Questions about this workflow
Can a deleted sandbox be resumed?
No. Delete Sandbox permanently terminates the instance, and once terminated it cannot be resumed.
What if the task has no sandbox ID?
Notis needs a valid sandbox identifier to perform deletion. State in the instruction to report a missing identifier rather than attempting deletion.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Asana to E2b. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Asana triggers
E2b actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Connect to Sandbox
Tool to connect to an existing E2B sandbox and retrieve its details. Use when you need to reconnect to a sandbox from different environments or resume a paused sandbox. The TTL is extended upon connection.

Check API Health
Tool to check the health status of the E2B API. Use when you need to verify that the API service is operational and accessible.
Tag Added to Task
Triggers when a tag is added to a task. Note: Asana's event structure is inverted for tag events — the resource is the task and the parent is the tag. So parent.gid gives the tag GID.
Get Sandbox
Tool to retrieve detailed information about a specific sandbox by its ID. Use when you need to check sandbox status, metadata, or configuration details.
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
Get Sandbox Logs
Tool to retrieve logs from a specific E2B sandbox instance. Use when you need to debug or monitor sandbox execution by viewing its console output and system logs.
