Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect TimelinesAI and Databricks in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation for Databricks app requests.

Questions about this workflow
Does Notis invent an app name?
No. If the message does not provide a valid name, Notis can ask for clarification or report the gap.
Can this handle multiple app requests?
Each new message can be evaluated separately, with the requested configuration taken from that message.
