Keep sandbox timeouts aligned with rescheduled meetings
When the meeting moves, the sandbox plan may need to move with it. Have Notis use the update to adjust the related sandbox timeout.
Trigger
Event Updated
Triggers when an existing Google Calendar event is modified. Returns the event ID, change type, and the specific fields that changed with their previous and new values.
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
A rescheduled meeting can leave a sandbox expiring too early or running longer than needed.
- React to calendar timing changes without remembering a separate sandbox task.
- Keep a related sandbox available for a moved session.
- Use the changed fields to inform the timeout decision.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar and E2B once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, explain which event changes should adjust a sandbox timeout and how to identify the sandbox.
- 4Pick Event Updated as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real event update and a sandbox you can adjust.
Questions about this workflow
What information does Event Updated return?
It returns the event ID, change type, and fields that changed, including previous and new values.
How is the timeout calculated?
Set the timing rule in your instruction. E2B measures the timeout from the current time, and each call overwrites the previous TTL.
What if the event does not contain a sandbox ID?
Include an explicit way for Notis to identify the related sandbox. The event update may not provide that identifier.
