Handle Databricks external location cleanup requests
Use a confirmation form to make storage access cleanup deliberate and traceable.
Trigger
New Form Response
Triggers when a respondent completes and submits the form.
Action
Delete External Location
Tool to delete an external location from Unity Catalog metastore. Use when you need to remove an external location that combines a cloud storage path with a storage credential. The caller must be the owner of the external location. Use force=true to delete even if there are dependent external tables or mounts.
Why this helps
Stale external locations remain because cleanup requests are risky and easy to defer.
- Make cleanup requests explicit
- Keep destructive actions reviewable
- Reduce stale access surfaces
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Typeform and Databricks in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation for confirmed external location cleanup.
- 3Tell Notis to verify the exact location, dependency acknowledgement, and approval before deletion.
- 4Pick New Form Response as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with a disposable location and a confirmed request.
Questions about this workflow
Can this delete locations with dependent tables?
Tell Notis to stop unless the request explicitly authorizes the required force behavior.
Is deletion reversible?
The action removes the external location, so require explicit confirmation in the request process.
