How to pass the output value of databricks notebook as a string to data factory?

Question

I have a databricks notebook Notebook1 in which I have written a query to fetch the last_mod_time from databricks data table and saved it as a dataframe.

Now, I have created a pipeline in azure data factory and using the output of that notebook to pass the last_mod_time value as a string to an IF condition activity.

Can you guys please suggest a way through which this can be achieved?

Answer 1

Provided if you are returning the last_mod_time from your notebook activity, you can access the output of the activity using,

@activity.yourdatabricksactivityname.output.last_mod_time

You can use the above expression in the IF activity condition
