Convert a documented platform decision into a ready Databricks metastore configuration.
Trigger
New Coda Document Trigger
Triggers when a new Coda document is created.
Action
Create Metastore
Tool to create a new Unity Catalog metastore. Use when you need to establish a top-level container for data in Unity Catalog, registering metadata about securable objects (tables, volumes, external locations, shares) and access permissions. Requires account admin privileges. By default, the owner is the user calling the API; setting owner to empty string assigns ownership to System User.
Why this helps
Platform setup decisions sit in planning docs while administrators recreate them manually in Databricks.
- Reduces administrative re-entry
- Keeps ownership decisions visible
- Creates a repeatable governance setup
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Coda and Databricks in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation for approved metastore plans.
- 3Tell Notis to create the metastore using the ownership and storage details in the document.
- 4Pick New Coda Document as the trigger.
- 5Choose report delivery and test with one approved plan.
Questions about this workflow
Is account administrator access required?
Yes. Databricks permissions still apply to metastore creation.
What if the document lacks storage details?
Notis should report the missing details for completion before running the action.
