Check a Databricks app without leaving Slack
When someone needs a quick status check, switching into Databricks can interrupt the work at hand. Add an 👀 reaction in your designated Slack operations channel and Notis can retrieve details for the app you specified, then share the result in its run-report channel.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
Get Databricks App Details
Tool to retrieve details about a specific Databricks app by name. Use when you need to get comprehensive information about an app including configuration, deployment status, compute resources, and metadata.
Why this helps
Finding the deployment state and configuration for a known Databricks app can require a separate console visit and another context switch.
- Turn a familiar Slack reaction into a lightweight status-lookup request.
- Bring deployment and configuration details for one known Databricks app into the team's report flow.
- Keep the action read-only; it does not deploy apps or change access.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Databricks to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation and specify the Databricks app name and dedicated Slack operations channel in one plain-language prompt.
- 3Select Slack Message Reaction Added, set the channel and 👀 emoji filters, and choose where run reports should go.
- 4Test by adding 👀 to a message in that channel and confirm the report contains details for the named app only.
Questions about this workflow
Does this deploy or restart the Databricks app?
No. The selected action retrieves app details, including deployment status and configuration. It does not start, stop, deploy, or update the app.
Can a reaction select among multiple Databricks apps?
This workflow uses the specific app name in its prompt. To look up a different app, use a separately configured automation or update the prompt; the trigger description only supports channel and emoji filters.
