Start a project sandbox when folder collaboration begins

When a new collaborator joins a project folder, start the sandbox from the template your team has chosen.

Trigger

New Folder Collaboration Created

Triggers when a new collaboration is created on a specific folder in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box folder and fires when new collaborations are detected.

Action

Create Sandbox

Tool to create a new E2B sandbox from a template. Use when you need to launch a fresh sandbox environment for code execution, testing, or development purposes.

Why this helps

Project access and environment setup often happen in different places, leaving one of them easy to forget.

  • Make environment setup part of a collaboration kickoff.
  • Reduce the chance of a new project starting without its expected sandbox.
  • Record creation results in one report channel.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Box and E2B once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for collaborator onboarding.
  • 3Tell Notis to create a sandbox from the template ID supplied in your instruction or collaboration context, then report the result and any missing information.
  • 4Pick New Folder Collaboration Created for the Box folder.
  • 5Choose a report channel and test with a real collaboration and a valid template ID.

Questions about this workflow

Can the new collaborator's role determine sandbox permissions?

The available Create Sandbox action creates a sandbox from a template. It does not describe setting sandbox access based on Box roles.

What if no template ID is available?

Have the run report request the template ID. Do not ask Notis to guess a template.
