Keep a contact's active technical work available
A changed contact can signal ongoing work. Refresh its linked sandbox so the environment stays available.
Trigger
Contact Updated
Triggers when an existing Salesforce Contact record is modified. Emits changed fields alongside relevant timestamps.
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
Active customer work can lose time when a useful sandbox expires between follow-ups.
- Extend the life of an active environment
- Reduce manual sandbox refreshes
- Keep customer follow-up and technical work connected
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Salesforce and E2B once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by telling Notis the outcome in plain language, or use Automations, New Automation in the portal.
- 3In one instruction, state how the updated contact relates to a known sandbox ID that should be refreshed.
- 4Pick the Salesforce Contact Updated trigger, choose a report channel, and test with a contact linked to a sandbox.
- 5Verify the intended sandbox TTL was refreshed.
Questions about this workflow
Does a contact update provide the sandbox ID?
The trigger emits changed fields and relevant timestamps, but its description does not promise a sandbox ID. Ensure the ID is available in the returned data or supplied in your instruction.
What does refresh do?
It extends the sandbox time to live. Use the timeout action instead if you need to set a specific timeout value.
