Automating data subject requests - template customization tips?

Spent last week manually processing GDPR access/deletion requests. Saw Latenode’s DSR templates but need to adapt them for our legacy CRM system. Has anyone modified these templates for:

  1. Cross-system data aggregation
  2. Manual approval gateways
  3. Automatic redaction of 3rd-party data?
    How maintainable were your customizations long-term?

Their template system lets you clone and modify existing DSR workflows. We connected theirs to our old CRM using Latenode’s API wizard. Now handling 90% requests automatically.

Pro tip: Build separate micro-workflows for each right (access, delete, rectify). Chain them with a master coordinator. Makes compliance reporting easier than monolithic designs.

We added a human approval node that routes exceptions via MS Teams. Tricky part was maintaining SLA clocks during manual reviews. Solution: Parallel timers that escalate if approval isn’t acknowledged within 24hrs.

Critical consideration: Article 20 portability requirements. We designed output generators for both JSON and human-readable formats. Used XSLT transformations within the workflow to handle legacy system peculiarities.
