Pause an E2B sandbox when leave starts
Preserve work safely when a team member steps away.
Trigger
Worker Leave of Absence Created
Triggers when a new leave of absence record is created for a worker. This trigger monitors a specific worker's leaves of absence and detects when new leave records appear (e.g., when a leave is initiated/recorded). Uses snapshot-based diffing to compare leave record IDs between polls.
Action
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
Active environments continue consuming resources when ownership changes unexpectedly.
- Preserve in-progress work
- Reduce idle resource usage
- Create a clear handoff signal
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Workday and E2b in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation for leave start handling.
- 3Tell Notis to pause the designated E2B sandbox and report the resulting state.
- 4Pick the Worker Leave of Absence Created trigger, choose a report channel, and test with one leave record.
