Keep pull request sandboxes ready for new commits
Preserve review momentum when a contributor pushes a follow-up fix.
Trigger
New Commit Added to Pull Request
Triggers when a new commit is pushed to a specific pull request. Monitors all commits on the specified pull request and emits an event for each newly added commit. This covers force-pushes and additional commits pushed to the PR's head branch.
Action
Refresh Sandbox
Tool to refresh an E2B sandbox and extend its time to live. Use when you need to keep a sandbox alive longer and prevent it from timing out.
Why this helps
A sandbox expiring between review rounds turns a quick retest into another setup task.
- Avoid rebuilding a useful workspace
- Support quick follow-up reviews
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and E2B to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation from the portal.
- 3Ask Notis to refresh the matching E2B sandbox when a new commit is added to a pull request, select the trigger, and choose a channel.
- 4Push a follow-up commit to test the automation.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to E2b. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
E2b actions
New Workflow Artifact Created
Triggers when a new workflow artifact is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors for newly created GitHub Actions workflow artifacts. Optionally filters by artifact name to restrict monitoring to specific artifacts.
Connect to Sandbox
Tool to connect to an existing E2B sandbox and retrieve its details. Use when you need to reconnect to a sandbox from different environments or resume a paused sandbox. The TTL is extended upon connection.
Branch Changed
Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. Monitors a specific branch for: - New commits pushed (head commit SHA changes) - Protection status toggled (branch becomes protected or unprotected) - Protection settings changed, including: required status checks and their enforcement level, admin enforcement, required pull request reviews (dismiss stale reviews, code owner reviews, approving review count, last push approval), required linear history, force push allowance, deletion allowance, conversation resolution, branch locking, and fork syncing.
Create Template
Tool to create a new E2B template with specified configuration. Use when you need to define a new sandbox template that can be used to spawn sandbox environments.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Create Webhook
Tool to register a new webhook to receive sandbox lifecycle events for the team. Use when you need to set up notifications for sandbox lifecycle events such as creation, updates, or termination.
Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub check run changes its status or conclusion. Monitors a single check run for changes to: status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.), conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required), started_at, and completed_at.
Delete Sandbox
Tool to terminate and permanently delete a running E2B sandbox instance. Use when you need to kill a sandbox that is no longer needed. Once terminated, the sandbox cannot be resumed.
Check Suite Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a GitHub check suite changes its status or conclusion for a given ref. Monitors all check suites associated with a git reference (branch, tag, or commit SHA) for changes to status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.) and conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required, startup_failure, stale). Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
Delete Webhook
Tool to unregister a webhook and stop receiving lifecycle events. Use when you need to remove a webhook that is no longer needed or to clean up webhook registrations.
New Code Scanning Alert Created
Triggers when a new code scanning alert is created in a repository. Fires an event for each newly created code scanning alert detected in the configured repository. Alerts can be filtered by Git reference, scanning tool, state, and severity. The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.
Check API Health
Tool to check the health status of the E2B API. Use when you need to verify that the API service is operational and accessible.
New Repository Collaborator Added
Triggers when a new collaborator is added to a GitHub repository. Monitors the full list of collaborators on a repository and fires an event for each newly added collaborator. The payload includes the collaborator's GitHub username, account ID, profile URL, avatar URL, permission flags (pull, triage, push, maintain, admin), and assigned role name.
Get Sandbox
Tool to retrieve detailed information about a specific sandbox by its ID. Use when you need to check sandbox status, metadata, or configuration details.
Commit Event
Triggered when a new commit is pushed to a repository.

Tool to retrieve logs from a specific E2B sandbox instance. Use when you need to debug or monitor sandbox execution by viewing its console output and system logs.
