Keep the sandbox alive when you pick up the issue
When you move an issue into active work, Notis can refresh its E2B sandbox so you spend the session solving the task instead of recreating the environment.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
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
An environment that expires just as you return to a task creates needless reconstruction and a frustrating context switch.
- Extend the sandbox lifetime when active work begins.
- Avoid rediscovering or rebuilding an environment mid-task.
- Tie environment upkeep to an issue status change you already make.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and E2B to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis to refresh the associated sandbox when an issue becomes active.
- 3Describe the active status and how Notis should find the issue's E2B sandbox in one instruction.
- 4Choose the Linear Issue Updated trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by moving a real issue into active work and checking the sandbox TTL.
Questions about this workflow
Does refresh resume a paused sandbox?
Refresh extends a sandbox's time to live. If it is paused, use a workflow that connects to or resumes the sandbox as appropriate.
Can I limit this to issues with an existing sandbox?
Yes. State that condition in your plain-language instruction so the automation only acts when the sandbox can be identified.
