DataRelay Grant

Human approval before automation executes. DataRelay Grant is an upcoming approval and execution-control product from DataRelay Labs. It is being designed around the patented workflow behind US 12,056,667 B1 and KR 10-2567118 B1: turn a requested action into an approval case, ask the right human for an explicit decision, and allow the corresponding automated action to proceed only when the approval result permits it.
Coming Soon. DataRelay Grant is currently in the pre-release product-definition stage. Public implementation details, APIs, deployment guidance, and release artifacts have not yet been announced.

Why DataRelay Grant

Automation is useful only when the right actions can proceed at the right time. Many operational tasks still need a human decision before execution: granting access, changing policy, activating a workflow, releasing data, running an administrative action, or allowing another system to continue. DataRelay Grant is intended to place a reusable approval layer between request and execution.
Request → Human Approval → Controlled Execution

Patent-based workflow

The underlying invention describes an approval-management flow with the following core behavior: The issued patent material describes:
  • approval-request cases created from user input or an external-system API request;
  • email delivery of approval requests;
  • explicit approve / pending / deny responses;
  • reminder messages while a request remains pending;
  • reusable case templates, approver information, and automation playbooks;
  • automation playbooks built from reusable modules or unit operations;
  • approved execution of the selected automation; and
  • API-based exchange of approval requests and results with another system.
See Patent Foundation for the patent references and a more detailed product interpretation.

Designed as an approval layer

DataRelay Grant is planned as a reusable human-authorization layer that can work with DataRelay products and external systems.

DataRelay Link

Planned integration point for actions that should require explicit human authorization before execution.

DataRelay Control

Planned integration point for governed data-operation changes or actions that need an approval gate.

External Systems

The patent foundation includes API-originated approval requests and result exchange with another system.
DataRelay Grant is not intended to replace DataRelay Link or DataRelay Control. The planned role is to provide a common approval decision layer that those products—or other systems—can call when an operation requires human authorization.
