Our team connects Volty to Submittable's v4 API with the key your organization finds under More > Integrations > API Access. Applicants ask whether their submission has been reviewed or when a project closes, and Volty reads the submission's status and the project deadline, then routes eligibility questions to a program officer. - Status of one submission · In review, accepted or declined, read from the applicant's own submission. - Project close dates · Volty checks the Submittable project before quoting a deadline. - Scores stay private · Reviewer scores and notes are kept out of the connection. - Eligibility is a staff call · Volty assigns the question to the program officer who owns the fund. Connects with Submittable API v4 with the organization key Volty reads Submissions, statuses, projects, deadlines Volty can change None by default Setup Your Submittable admin and our team Category Churches & nonprofits A food bank's eligibility question lands with Daniel, not a bot guess. ### Does our project qualify An anonymous web visitor asks two questions.

Whether a church-run food bank qualifies is a question for our program officer, so I've passed it to Daniel Cho and he'll reply here. Assigned to Daniel Cho ## As an automation Describe it to Volty in a sentence; it drafts the automation and an admin turns it on. Deadline reminders - When · A week before a deadline · Volty counts down to the close date - Step 1 · Finds drafts in progress · Started, never submitted - Step 2 · Emails each applicant · Sent from the grants address - Step 3 · Answers applicant replies · Budget questions go to the officer An applicant learns the decision date without emailing twice. ## How Volty connects to Submittable Submittable's API is on version 4, and each organization has one API key, sent with basic authentication. Our team builds Volty's connection with that key and agrees with you which projects and fields Volty reads. - 01 · Copy the organization's key · Sign in to Submittable and open More > Integrations > API Access to find the API key. - 02 · Name the projects · List the grant programs and fields Volty may read. Reviewer scores and internal notes stay out. - 03 · Grants manager approves · A workspace admin approves the connection before it is used. - 04 · Leave writes off · Volty reads statuses and deadlines. Anything that edits a submission stays Off. ### The tools Volty gets Each one is a switch on the Sources page in Volty. - Find applicant's submission · Reads - Read submission status · Reads - Read project deadline · Reads - List drafts not submitted · Reads Reading tools can be turned on straight away. Anything that changes Submittable starts Off, and once on it can be set to check with staff, so each change waits for a colleague. ## Common questions ### Can applicants see reviewer scores or comments through Volty? No. The connection is built to read the applicant's own submission status and the project's deadline. Reviewer scores, internal notes and other applicants' submissions are left out of the tools our team builds, so Volty has nothing to repeat. ### Where does our team find the Submittable API key? Sign in to Submittable and open More > Integrations > API Access, where the organization's key is shown. Submittable's v4 API takes it as basic authentication. Our team builds Volty's connection with it, and a workspace admin approves the connection once before Volty reads anything. ### Does Volty decide whether a project is eligible? No. Eligibility depends on judgment your program officers make, so Volty answers the factual parts, such as the close date, and assigns the eligibility question to the officer who owns that fund in Volty. The applicant gets the reply in the same thread. ### How much does it cost to connect Submittable with Volty?
