Adjust an E2B timeout from an edited message
Keep sandbox lifetime aligned with the latest plan in the channel.
Trigger
Message Edited
Triggered when an existing message in a monitored Discord channel is edited.
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
Changed estimates leave environments expiring too soon or running longer than needed.
- Reflect updated delivery estimates
- Reduce premature expirations
- Avoid unnecessary runtime
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Discord and E2b once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation for revised sandbox plans.
- 3Tell Notis to set the timeout for the referenced sandbox using the new duration in the edited message.
- 4Pick Message Edited as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test by editing a real planning message.
Questions about this workflow
Where does the duration come from?
The edited Discord message must state the intended timeout or the instruction must define a rule.
What happens when no duration is present?
Notis can report the missing duration rather than making an assumption.
