Pause an E2B sandbox after a ClickUp tag update
Park work cleanly when a task is intentionally paused.
Trigger
Task Tag Updated
Triggers when a tag is added to or removed from a task. `changes[]` carries `TagAddChange` and/or `TagRemoveChange` entries. Adds use ClickUp's `field == "tag"`, removes use the undocumented `field == "tag_removed"`; both are normalised into the typed change classes.
Action
Pause Sandbox
Tool to pause a running E2B sandbox preserving its filesystem and memory state. Use when you need to temporarily suspend a sandbox while maintaining its state for later resumption. Takes approximately 4 seconds per 1 GiB of RAM to pause. Paused sandboxes can be stored for up to 30 days.
Why this helps
Idle sandboxes keep consuming attention and resources while work waits.
- Reduce idle usage
- Preserve sandbox state
- Make pause decisions explicit
