Move approved data source requests from Trello into governed Databricks setup.

Trigger

New Card Trigger

Triggered when a card is created in the specified board

Action

Create Catalog Connection

Tool to create a new Unity Catalog connection to external data sources. Use when you need to establish connections to databases and services such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Snowflake, etc. Requires metastore admin privileges or CREATE CONNECTION privilege on the metastore.

Why this helps

External source onboarding stalls while connection details are copied between teams.

  • Standardizes connection requests
  • Preserves the requesting card as context
  • Reduces manual setup errors

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Trello and Databricks in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation for catalog connection requests.
  • 3Tell Notis to validate the card's approved connection specification and create the Unity Catalog connection with the supplied properties.
  • 4Pick the Trello New Card trigger and select a report channel.
  • 5Test with one approved connection request using non production credentials.

Questions about this workflow

Where do credentials come from?

The card should reference an approved credential or secure configuration; do not paste secrets into Trello.

What if the request is incomplete?

Notis can report which required connection details are missing.
