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
A small cleanup action can be easy to forget when switching out of a focused work session.
- Make the pause action a clear choice in Telegram.
- Pause a named environment while retaining filesystem and memory state.
- Close a task with a simple confirmation step.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and E2B to Notis once through the portal and ensure the bot can send inline keyboard messages.
- 2Create an automation through the portal or by asking Notis in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, have Notis pause the identified E2B sandbox only after the user taps the pause confirmation button.
- 4Select the Telegram callback-query trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test the button flow with a sandbox you can safely pause and later resume.
