Bring catalog context into the access conversation
A comment can prompt a catalog lookup, giving the person handling access a useful reference without a separate search.
Trigger
Comment Received Trigger
Triggered when a comment is received.
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
Access requests often lack the catalog context needed to route or resolve them quickly.
- Retrieve metadata, owner, and configuration for a named catalog.
- Give access discussions a shared point of reference.
- Reduce repeated context requests.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Databricks to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis to look up Unity Catalog details when a comment asks about a catalog.
- 3Choose the Linear Comment Received trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one real comment that names a catalog.
Questions about this workflow
Does the lookup grant access?
No. It retrieves catalog information for review and does not change permissions.
What makes a good comment?
Include the catalog name and the access or ownership question that needs context.
