Turn approved storage requests into Databricks external locations
Move a reviewed storage request into Unity Catalog without rebuilding the setup by hand.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create External Location
Tool to create a new Unity Catalog external location combining a cloud storage path with a storage credential. Use when you need to establish access to cloud storage in Azure Data Lake Storage, AWS S3, or Cloudflare R2. Requires metastore admin or CREATE_EXTERNAL_LOCATION privilege on both the metastore and the associated storage credential.
Why this helps
External location requests stall when path, credential, and ownership details are scattered across notes.
- Turns approved requests into a repeatable action
- Checks for missing inputs before execution
- Leaves a clear operational report
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Databricks in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation for scheduled external location requests.
- 3Tell Notis to use only approved request details you provide, create the external location, and report missing or rejected inputs.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger.
- 5Choose where reports go and test with one approved request.
Questions about this workflow
Does Notis invent a storage credential?
No. The request must provide the credential identifier and storage path.
Can it create multiple locations?
Yes, if the approved request clearly lists each location and its required details.
