Keep sandboxes alive through extended work sessions
Give longer sessions the runtime they actually need.
Trigger
Calendar Event Changes
Triggered when a new calendar event occurs (created, updated, or deleted) in the Outlook calendar.
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
A productive session gets interrupted when the sandbox TTL ends before the new calendar finish time.
- Prevents timeout interruptions
- Keeps schedules and environments aligned
- Removes repetitive manual refreshes
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Outlook and E2b once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation that refreshes the related sandbox when an event extension requires more runtime.
- 3Pick Calendar Event Changes as the trigger.
- 4Choose a report channel and test with one extended event.
Questions about this workflow
How is the related sandbox identified?
Include its ID in the event details or tell Notis where to find the reference.
Is refresh the same as changing timeout?
Refresh extends the sandbox lifetime directly. Use Set Sandbox Timeout when you need an explicit duration.
