Know whether E2B is available when Drive changes
A Drive change can prompt an E2B health check, giving you a quick signal before you proceed with sandbox dependent work.
Trigger
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Teams can lose time attempting to start compute work before noticing that the sandbox API is unavailable.
- Check API availability in response to Drive changes
- Get an operational signal in the run report
- Avoid manually opening a separate status check
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and E2B once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to check E2B API health when Drive changes are detected and summarize the returned status.
- 4Choose the Google Drive Changes trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Drive change and review the run report.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to E2b. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
E2b actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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.
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
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.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
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.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
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.
File Shared (Permissions Added)
Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.
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.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
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.
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
Get Sandbox Logs
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.
