Keep active work alive from a follow-up task

A quick continuation task can prevent an active sandbox from expiring.

Trigger

New Task Created

Triggers when a new task is created in a Google Tasks list. Uses timestamp filtering (updatedMin) to efficiently detect new tasks.

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

Useful environments time out while work is waiting for its next focused block.

  • Protect work in progress
  • Reduce restart overhead
  • Keep continuation intent visible

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Tasks and E2B in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation for sandbox continuation tasks.
  • 3Tell Notis to refresh the sandbox ID in each new continuation task and report the new expiration time.
  • 4Pick New Task Created as the trigger.
  • 5Choose a report channel, then test with one continuation task.

Questions about this workflow

How does Notis know which sandbox to refresh?
