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
Evaluation environments can remain running after a deal moves on, leaving someone to remember a separate cleanup step.
- Make sandbox pause part of the deal stage transition.
- Reduce manual cleanup after technical evaluations.
- Return the pause result in a Notis run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect HubSpot and E2B once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to pause the evaluation sandbox when a deal leaves your named evaluation stage, using the sandbox ID available in the event data or deal context.
- 4Pick the HubSpot Deal Stage Updated trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real deal update that includes a sandbox ID and confirm the pause result in the report.
Questions about this workflow
What if the deal update does not include a sandbox ID?
The action needs an E2B sandbox identifier. Make sure it is present in the data Notis can use for that deal, or the sandbox cannot be identified for pausing.
Can this pause sandboxes for every deal stage change?
Instruct Notis to act when the deal leaves your named evaluation stage. The automation is prompt-based and uses the event data it receives.
