Follow sandbox lifecycle during workflow runs
Use one reporting channel to see whether the workspace supporting a run is still healthy.
Trigger
GitHub Workflow Run State Changed
Triggers when a GitHub Actions workflow run's status or conclusion changes. Monitors a single workflow run and fires an event whenever it transitions between states (e.g., queued to in_progress, or in_progress to completed) or when its conclusion is set (e.g., success, failure, cancelled).
Action
Get Sandbox Lifecycle Events
Tool to retrieve the latest lifecycle events for a particular sandbox instance. Use when you need to track state changes including creation, pausing, resuming, updates, and termination of a sandbox.
Why this helps
When automation runs change state, it is hard to know whether the supporting environment is still available.
- Reduce status-checking loops
- Keep environment state visible
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and E2B to Notis once.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal.
- 3Ask Notis to retrieve E2B lifecycle events when a workflow run changes state, select GitHub Workflow Run State Changed, and pick a channel.
- 4Run a workflow and review the lifecycle report.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to E2b. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub 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.
New Workflow Artifact Created
Triggers when a new workflow artifact is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors for newly created GitHub Actions workflow artifacts. Optionally filters by artifact name to restrict monitoring to specific artifacts.
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.
Branch Changed
Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. Monitors a specific branch for: - New commits pushed (head commit SHA changes) - Protection status toggled (branch becomes protected or unprotected) - Protection settings changed, including: required status checks and their enforcement level, admin enforcement, required pull request reviews (dismiss stale reviews, code owner reviews, approving review count, last push approval), required linear history, force push allowance, deletion allowance, conversation resolution, branch locking, and fork syncing.
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.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
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.
Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub check run changes its status or conclusion. Monitors a single check run for changes to: status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.), conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required), started_at, and completed_at.
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.
Check Suite Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a GitHub check suite changes its status or conclusion for a given ref. Monitors all check suites associated with a git reference (branch, tag, or commit SHA) for changes to status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.) and conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required, startup_failure, stale). Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
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 Code Scanning Alert Created
Triggers when a new code scanning alert is created in a repository. Fires an event for each newly created code scanning alert detected in the configured repository. Alerts can be filtered by Git reference, scanning tool, state, and severity. The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.
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.
