Pause your sandbox when the session is over
A session ending should not leave you wondering whether its sandbox is still running. Use calendar context to prompt a timely pause.
Trigger
Calendar Event Sync
Polling trigger that returns full event data including details, attendees, and metadata. For real-time notifications with basic info, use Calendar Event Changes (webhook).
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
Sandbox cleanup gets forgotten when you move straight from one meeting to the next.
- Prompt a pause when a scheduled session has ended.
- Reduce manual sandbox cleanup.
- Use full event details to support the 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.
- 3Tell Notis which event should signal that a sandbox can be paused and how to identify that sandbox.
- 4Pick Calendar Event Sync as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real event and a sandbox you are comfortable pausing.
Questions about this workflow
Does Calendar Event Sync fire exactly at the event end?
It is a polling trigger that returns full event data. Describe the timing and conditions you want Notis to use in your instruction.
Can a paused sandbox be resumed?
The E2B description says pausing preserves filesystem and memory state, and paused sandboxes can be stored for up to 30 days.
What if the sandbox identifier is not in the event?
Supply a reliable way to identify the sandbox in your instruction or event details. The event data alone may not include an E2B sandbox ID.
