Reconnect an E2B sandbox from WhatsApp
Send a WhatsApp request and get back into the right sandbox without digging through dashboards.
Trigger
New WhatsApp Message Received
Polling trigger that monitors for new messages received in TimelinesAI WhatsApp chats.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Switching from a chat thread to find sandbox IDs creates friction when a task is time sensitive.
- Resume work from a WhatsApp message
- Keep sandbox details in the conversation
- Reduce dashboard switching
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect TimelinesAI and E2b in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named WhatsApp sandbox reconnect.
- 3Tell Notis to identify the sandbox ID in each request and connect to that sandbox, then report its details.
- 4Pick New WhatsApp Message Received as the trigger.
- 5Choose where run reports go and test with one real WhatsApp request.
Questions about this workflow
What if the message does not include a sandbox ID?
Ask the sender for the ID or provide a lookup rule in the instruction; Notis cannot infer an ID that neither app returns.
Can this resume a paused sandbox?
Yes. The Connect to Sandbox action is designed to reconnect to an existing sandbox and extend its TTL.
