Keep external metadata updates connected to the request
Turn an approved metadata change into a targeted Unity Catalog update with a run report.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Update External Metadata
Updates an object’s external metadata.
Why this helps
External metadata can become stale when ownership or system details change in a separate admin process.
- Reduce manual metadata maintenance
- Keep update intent explicit
- Track the result in a run report
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Anthropic administrator and Databricks once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to update only the approved external metadata object and changes explicitly stated in the request.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real approved metadata update and review the report.
Questions about this workflow
What privileges are needed?
The action description says the user must be a metastore admin, own the object, or have MODIFY privilege. Changing ownership requires MANAGE privilege.
Will Notis invent missing metadata?
The automation should apply only the approved details provided in the request and skip incomplete changes.
