# Submit Application

Learn what's included in the flow that automates submitting an 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.
