When a new submission arrives in Submittable or status changes, your team and applicants don't know unless someone checks the system manually. Submittable helps nonprofits, charities and grant programs receive and review applications. By connecting Submittable to Mobile Message through Zapier, you can send SMS notifications when submissions arrive, when status changes, when payment is made or when notes are added, keeping everyone informed in real time without constant system checking.

For nonprofits and program managers, communication gaps create frustration. Applicants who submit and hear nothing for days wonder if their application was received. Volunteers don't know new submissions have arrived. Award recipients don't know approvals are done. By automating SMS notifications for submissions, status changes and payments, you close those gaps and show applicants their application is being processed with care.

Setting up through Zapier takes minutes. Connect Submittable and Mobile Message, choose your trigger events (new submissions, status changes, payment notifications), and write message templates. Once live, SMS sends automatically whenever submissions arrive or change status, keeping applicants and team informed.
