Start a sandbox when a Box folder receives a request
Put a clear sandbox request in a monitored folder and let Notis start the environment from your chosen template.
Trigger
New Item Added to Folder
Triggers when a new item (file, folder, or web link) is added to a folder in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box folder and fires when new items 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
Starting a sandbox can become a separate manual task after a request arrives in a shared Box folder.
- Turn an explicit request into a sandbox creation attempt.
- Keep the chosen template and request context together.
- Get a run report when required setup information is missing.
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 the request folder.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a sandbox using the template ID explicitly provided in the new item's context, and report the result or missing template ID.
- 4Pick New Item Added to Folder for the Box request folder.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one real request that includes a valid template ID.
Questions about this workflow
Does the workflow create a sandbox from any file automatically?
It should only attempt creation when the request context explicitly provides a valid template ID and makes the intent clear. The new-item event itself does not validate a request.
Can it upload the new Box item into the sandbox?
No. The listed E2B action creates a sandbox from a template and does not transfer Box content.
