01
Exceptions are exported to side files because someone needs to investigate, correct, or approve them.
Review and approval workflows
Move exception review, corrections, and approvals into a repeatable Snowflake workflow.
EntryLayer adds structured review states, action history, comments, and read-only workflow behavior to records that start from Snowflake-backed sources.
Best fit
Where this usually starts.
For data quality, operations, finance, and platform teams that need reviewable decisions around warehouse-backed records.
02
Approval context gets split across tickets, email, spreadsheets, and undocumented conversations.
03
Downstream teams need a clear record of who changed what, when, and why.
EntryLayer outcome
A working interface without moving the process elsewhere.
- Create queues for source rows that need attention.
- Route records through draft, submitted, review, approved, or rejected states.
- Capture field history, workflow history, access activity, and reviewer notes.
- Extract approved work back into customer-controlled Snowflake workflows.
Review and approval workflows
Runtime
Runs inside Snowflake
EntryLayer is delivered as a Snowflake Native App on Snowpark Container Services, not as a separate hosted SaaS data plane.
State
Hybrid Tables app state
Projects, forms, submissions, memberships, workflow history, audit activity, and billing ledger state live in Snowflake Hybrid Tables.
Source access
Caller-rights reads
Customer-owned source reads use Restricted Caller Rights where supported, so Snowflake grants and policies remain central.
Next step
Start with the exception-review demo, then map it to a real customer workflow.
The pilot path is intentionally narrow: pick one Snowflake-backed exception queue, create the form and review workflow, and prove the handoff can stay auditable.
