Set an E2B timeout after absence eligibility changes
Keep environment lifetimes aligned with changing availability.
Trigger
Worker Eligible Absence Type Changed
Triggers when a worker becomes eligible or ineligible for an absence type. This trigger monitors the list of eligible absence types for a specific worker and detects when new absence types are added (worker becomes eligible) or when absence types are removed (worker becomes ineligible). Uses snapshot-based diffing to compare the list of absence type IDs between polls. Note: Due to Workday security permissions, this endpoint typically only allows access to the authenticated user's own data.
Action
Set Sandbox Timeout
Tool to set the timeout for an E2B sandbox. Use when you need to extend or reduce the sandbox lifetime. The timeout is measured from the current time, and calling this multiple times overwrites the previous TTL.
Why this helps
Sandbox timeouts remain unchanged even when staffing availability shifts.
- Reduce forgotten running sandboxes
- Apply consistent lifecycle rules
- Make availability changes actionable
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Workday and E2b in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation for availability based timeout updates.
- 3Tell Notis to set the designated E2B sandbox timeout according to the updated availability policy.
- 4Pick the Worker Eligible Absence Type Changed trigger, choose a report channel, and test with one eligibility change.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Workday to E2b. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Workday triggers
E2b actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create Template
Tool to create a new E2B template with specified configuration. Use when you need to define a new sandbox template that can be used to spawn sandbox environments.
Absence Balance Changed
Triggers when a worker's absence balance changes. This trigger monitors a specific worker's absence plan balance and detects any changes to the balance details including quantity available, effective date, position, or other related fields. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect meaningful changes.
Create Webhook
Tool to register a new webhook to receive sandbox lifecycle events for the team. Use when you need to set up notifications for sandbox lifecycle events such as creation, updates, or termination.
Balance Details Changed
Triggers when details of a specific balance change (quantity, accruals, adjustments, etc.). This trigger monitors a specific worker's absence plan balance and detects any changes to the balance details including quantity available, effective date, position, or other related fields. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect meaningful field changes.
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.
Interview Feedback Submitted or Updated
Triggers when interview feedback is submitted or updated for a specific interview. This trigger monitors a specific interview and fires when new feedback entries are detected or existing feedback is modified.
Delete Webhook
Tool to unregister a webhook and stop receiving lifecycle events. Use when you need to remove a webhook that is no longer needed or to clean up webhook registrations.
Job Posting Changed
Triggers when a specific job posting's details change (title, status, posting dates, location, etc.). This trigger monitors a single job posting and fires when any of its fields are modified.
Check API Health
Tool to check the health status of the E2B API. Use when you need to verify that the API service is operational and accessible.
Job Posting Questionnaire Changed
Triggers when a job posting's candidate questionnaire is added or changed. This trigger monitors a specific job posting's questionnaires and detects any changes including additions, removals, or modifications to questionnaires and questions. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect meaningful changes.
Get Sandbox
Tool to retrieve detailed information about a specific sandbox by its ID. Use when you need to check sandbox status, metadata, or configuration details.
New Absence Balance
Triggers when a new absence balance record becomes available for a worker. This trigger monitors a specific worker's absence balances and detects when new balance records appear (e.g., a new plan/bucket becomes available). Uses snapshot-based diffing to compare balance record IDs between polls.
Get Sandbox Logs
Tool to retrieve logs from a specific E2B sandbox instance. Use when you need to debug or monitor sandbox execution by viewing its console output and system logs.
