From within a Databricks Notebook, how do you get the workflow and task name

[naga_databricks]

I have a notebook where i want to use the workflow name and task name that it will be running under. How do i access these information?

Please take a look at these docs, I think they are what you need: https://docs.databricks.com/workflows/jobs/task-parameter-variables.html

Thanks. That looks like a promising option to access task level information. Is there a way to access workflow name?

[BilalAslamDbrx]

No, we don't include that as it is not a unique or stable identifier. You can query the Jobs API to retrieve it.

Okay. Thanks.

Instead i am now going to use base_parameters on deployment.conf and catch those parameters with dbutils.widget.get()
