Terminate an identified sandbox by request

Make an explicit request to terminate a sandbox and have the result reported for your records.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

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.

Why this helps

Unused sandboxes can linger because deletion requires a deliberate follow-up.

  • Handle an explicit termination request with a direct action.
  • Keep the target sandbox ID tied to the request.
  • Receive a report documenting the result.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect E2B once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis: only when a webhook request explicitly asks to permanently delete and includes a sandbox ID, delete that sandbox and report the result; otherwise report that no deletion was made.
  • 4Choose a webhook as the trigger and select where run reports go.
  • 5Test the request handling with a real request for a sandbox intended for deletion.

Questions about this workflow

Can a deleted sandbox be resumed?

No. Delete Sandbox permanently terminates the instance and it cannot be resumed.

What if a request is ambiguous?

The instruction should require an explicit deletion request and a sandbox ID before running the action.

Message Status Updated

Triggers when a WhatsApp message status changes. IMPORTANT LIMITATION: WhatsApp Cloud API does not provide a native polling endpoint for message status. Status updates are ONLY delivered via webhooks in real-time. This trigger cannot directly poll the WhatsApp API for status updates. This trigger will return empty results as WhatsApp does not support this operation. To track message status updates, you must: 1. Set up a webhook endpoint to receive status notifications from WhatsApp 2. Store the webhook data in your own database 3. Use a different mechanism to query your stored webhook data For more information, see: - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/webhooks
