Notis

Route parsed access requests into Unity Catalog grants

Turn access details extracted from a document into a clear Databricks permissions update, with run reports sent where your team can review them.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Update Catalog Grants

Adds or removes permissions on data catalog objects.

Why this helps

Access requests captured in documents can sit in an inbox while someone manually translates them into catalog permissions.

  • Reduce manual re-entry of principal and permission details.
  • Keep access requests moving from parsed documents to Databricks.
  • Review each run through the selected report channel.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Airparser and Databricks once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3In one instruction, tell Notis to use the parsed request details to update the specified Unity Catalog grants, and to flag missing or ambiguous details for review.
  • 4Choose notis_webhook as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real access request and confirm the grant details before relying on the workflow.

Questions about this workflow

What starts this workflow?

A webhook request starts it. Airparser has no listed trigger events, so the workflow uses the Notis webhook trigger.

What does the Databricks action change?

It updates privileges for Unity Catalog securables and principals based on the request details available to Notis. The instruction should tell Notis to flag missing or unclear details for review.

Can Notis infer a user's intended access level?

It should not guess. State the allowed privileges in your instruction or include them in the parsed request, and review exceptions in the run report.
