Turn of the Load connected via ACS712 using Realy

Hi All, newbie here,
i have a basic question is this possible to turn of the load connected to ACS712 using a Relay?
i am working on An project where i have to turn on and off the load connected via ACS712 when a user scans RFID card. And for this project i have to use ESP8266. So is this possible ?
Here's a high-level overview of what i want to achieve this:

1. Connect the ACS712: The ACS712 current sensor will be connected in series with the load to measure the current flowing through it.

2. Connect the Relay: The relay will be used to control the load. You can use either a solid-state relay or a mechanical relay, depending on your requirements.

3. Connect the ESP8266: The ESP8266 will read the current values from the ACS712 and control the relay based on the RFID card scan

My Workflow:

1. Read RFID Card: When a user scans an RFID card, the ESP8266 reads the card's data.

2. Check Conditions: Based on the RFID data, the ESP8266 decides whether to turn the load on or off.

3. Control Relay: The ESP8266 sends a signal to the relay to either connect or disconnect the load.

4. Measure Current and voltage when load is on using ACS712
