Review Databricks catalog details when an Airtable base changes
A base rename or permission change can affect how your team understands connected data. Notis can pull the catalog details you name and include them in a run report for review.
Trigger
Base Metadata Changed
Triggers when an existing Airtable base changes its name or permission level.
Action
Get Catalog Details
Tool to retrieve details of a specific catalog in Unity Catalog. Use when you need to get information about a catalog including its metadata, owner, properties, and configuration. Requires metastore admin privileges, catalog ownership, or USE_CATALOG privilege.
Why this helps
Airtable access or naming changes can be easy to miss when related data context lives in Databricks.
- Bring named catalog details into the report when a base changes.
- Make it easier to review connected data context promptly.
- Keep a record of each triggered review in Notis run reports.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtable and Databricks once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, name the Databricks catalog to retrieve and ask Notis to summarize its relevant details alongside the Airtable base change.
- 4Pick the Airtable Base Metadata Changed trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real base name or permission-level change.
Questions about this workflow
Does this automatically change Databricks permissions?
No. It retrieves details for the catalog you identify so you can review them; the available action does not change catalog permissions.
What Airtable changes start this workflow?
A change to an existing base's name or permission level.
Do I need to identify a catalog?
Yes. Name the Databricks catalog in your instruction so the action knows which catalog details to retrieve.
