Understand what happened to a blocked sandbox
A blocker comment can prompt a look at the linked sandbox's recent lifecycle events.
Trigger
Comment Created
Triggers when a new comment is created in Notion. Optional `page_id` filter scopes to comments on a specific page. When omitted, fires for any new comment in the workspace the integration has access to. Requires the 'Read comments' capability on the Notion integration. If a connection was authorized before that capability was enabled, the user must re-authorize the connection for comment events to flow.
Action
Get Sandbox Lifecycle Events
Tool to retrieve the latest lifecycle events for a particular sandbox instance. Use when you need to track state changes including creation, pausing, resuming, updates, and termination of a sandbox.
Why this helps
When a task stalls, it takes extra effort to remember whether its sandbox paused, resumed, or changed state.
- Bring environment history into a blocked-work investigation.
- Reduce repeated manual status checks.
- Make sandbox state changes easier to spot.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and E2B to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation that retrieves lifecycle events for the sandbox referenced in a new blocker comment.
- 3Select Comment Created and scope it to the relevant project page if appropriate.
- 4Choose a channel for run reports and test with a comment on a real blocker.
Questions about this workflow
Does this resolve the blocker automatically?
No. It retrieves lifecycle events to help you understand sandbox changes.
What should a blocker comment include?
Include a clear reference to the affected sandbox or its Notion task.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to E2b. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion 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.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
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.
Comment Created
Triggers when a new comment is created in Notion. Optional `page_id` filter scopes to comments on a specific page. When omitted, fires for any new comment in the workspace the integration has access to. Requires the 'Read comments' capability on the Notion integration. If a connection was authorized before that capability was enabled, the user must re-authorize the connection for comment events to flow.
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.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
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.
Database Created
Triggers when a new Notion database (the container) is created. A database is the post-2025-09-03 container that holds one or more data sources. This trigger fires for the container's creation event (`database.created`), distinct from `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` which fires when a new data source is added to an existing database. Most customers calling Notion's `POST /v1/databases` (the legacy API) or creating a database via the Notion UI will see this event. Adding a new data source to an existing database fires `data_source.created` instead — use `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` for that. Notion's payload puts `entity.type: "block"` (the container is a `child_database` block in the content tree) and `entity.id` is the database id.
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.
Data Source Created
Triggers when a new Notion data source is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload's `data.parent` carries the data source's tree parent (typically the teamspace) for downstream filtering. A single template-based database creation can fire multiple `data_source.created` events at once — one per data source the template instantiates.
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.
Data Source Schema Updated
Triggers when a Notion data source's schema is updated. Fires on column add / remove / rename. Payload includes `data.updated_properties: [{id, name, action}]` so consumers can discriminate the kind of change downstream. Optional `data_source_id` filter scopes to schema changes on a single data source. When omitted, fires for any schema change in the workspace the integration has access to. Note: adding a column also fires `page.properties_updated` once per existing row in the data source. Customers wanting a single structural-change signal should use this trigger.
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.
