Default Application Flows
Learn how the Create Application flow processes a funding request application.
- Create Application
The Create Application flow automates how the application initially starts for your applicant. This involves retrieving information about the Funding Program and user's Contact information, autofilling fields on the application, and creating the application record. - Submit Application
The Submit Application flow automates how a grantseeker’s application is submitted to an organization. The flow retrieves the application record, makes sure the user is both a site user and owner of the application, and updates the application before it is submitted. Without this flow, the grantseeker’s application can’t be submitted to your organization for review.
