Add catalog context to channel announcements
Use an announcement as the prompt to look up catalog metadata and ownership while the update is still in view.
Trigger
New Channel Post
Triggered when a new post is published to a channel where your bot is an administrator.
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
Catalog announcements can prompt follow-up questions that get separated from the work of checking the source details.
- Attach catalog context to an announcement.
- Reduce the delay between a change note and its verification.
- Keep follow-up details available without an extra workspace search.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Databricks to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction to look up the Unity Catalog catalog named in a new channel post and summarize its details.
- 4Pick Telegram New Channel Post as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with an announcement that includes an accessible catalog name.
Questions about this workflow
Does this verify that a change was made?
It retrieves current catalog details. Comparing that result with an announcement is useful, but the workflow does not infer every possible change.
What does the bot need?
It must be an administrator in the channel to receive channel posts.
