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 which channel presence and readiness conditions should lead to adding a specified user or group to a specified Databricks security group.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real session and confirm the membership change in Databricks.
Questions about this workflow
Does this remove group membership when someone leaves the channel?
No. The listed Databricks action adds a member. It does not remove membership, so define an explicit access review process if access should later be revoked.
What if the presence data does not identify the person?
The automation needs a reliable identity and the intended security group supplied in the request context or prompt. It should report missing details instead of guessing.
