Action Proposal
An action proposal is a structured, reviewable suggestion to change a connected business system — created by automation but not yet executed. It names the target system, the operation, and the exact parameters, so a person or policy can approve, edit, or reject it before anything happens.
Synonyms: proposed action, action suggestion, draft action, pending action
An action proposal is the safe intermediate state between understanding a request and changing a system. Automation drafts a precise, machine-checkable description of the change — which system, which operation, which fields — and attaches the evidence that justifies it. The proposal then passes through approval policy: it may execute automatically when grounded and low-risk, or wait for a reviewer when sensitive. This pattern keeps a human-meaningful checkpoint in front of every external side effect while still letting routine work flow without friction.
