Set an E2B sandbox timeout from a Coda planning page
Give each project environment a clear lifetime from the start.
Trigger
New Coda Page Trigger
Triggers when a new page is added to a Coda document.
Action
Set Sandbox Timeout
Tool to set the timeout for an E2B sandbox. Use when you need to extend or reduce the sandbox lifetime. The timeout is measured from the current time, and calling this multiple times overwrites the previous TTL.
Why this helps
Sandboxes run with arbitrary lifetimes because project duration is documented but never applied operationally.
- Align lifetime with project plans
- Reduce forgotten environments
- Make expiration intentional
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Coda and E2b in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Planning page sandbox timeout.
- 3Tell Notis to set the related E2B sandbox timeout using the work window in the new page, and report if no valid duration is present.
- 4Pick the New Coda Page trigger and choose a report destination.
- 5Test with one planning page.
Questions about this workflow
What if the page has no duration?
Notis should report the missing duration rather than invent one.
Does setting it replace the existing timeout?
Yes, the E2B timeout call sets the timeout measured from the current time.
