Keep active task sandboxes alive
A meaningful progress update can refresh the sandbox tied to ongoing work.
Trigger
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
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
Active work can lose its environment when the sandbox times out between updates.
- Extend sandbox life when task progress indicates continued work.
- Reduce interruptions from timeouts during active project work.
- Keep the refresh outcome visible in a run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and E2B once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation for refreshing active task sandboxes.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis which task updates indicate continued work and how to locate the sandbox ID.
- 4Pick Asana's Task Updated trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real task update and review the report.

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.

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.

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.
