Turn Ably access requests into Databricks permission updates
Keep access requests moving without switching between chat and your Databricks workspace.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Update Databricks App Permissions
Tool to incrementally update permissions for a Databricks app. Use when you need to modify specific permissions without replacing the entire permission set. This PATCH operation updates only the specified permissions, preserving existing permissions not included in the request. For replacing all permissions, use SetPermissions instead.
Why this helps
Access requests in chat can be easy to miss, and manually carrying each one into Databricks adds follow-up work.
- Respond to access requests received through an Ably channel.
- Apply requested changes incrementally while retaining unrelated permissions.
- Keep the request and the Databricks change in one workflow.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Databricks once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe how to check an incoming Ably request and update only the requested app permissions.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real access request and confirm the change in Databricks.
Questions about this workflow
Does Ably provide the trigger for this workflow?
No. Ably has no listed trigger events here. A Notis webhook starts the automation, and its prompt can use the incoming request context.
Will this replace all current app permissions?
No. This workflow uses the incremental permission update action, which changes only the specified permissions.
