# How to Submit an Application to Production

This guide explains how to submit a developer application for production
review from inside the SPA Developer Portal.

## Prerequisites

Before submitting to production, make sure you have:

- Tested the application's scopes, webhooks, and benefits end to end in the
sandbox.
- Confirmed the application behaves as expected for real customer scenarios.


## Step 1 — Open the Production tab

In the sidebar, switch to the **Production** tab.

## Step 2 — Go to Application Submissions

Click **Application submissions** in the Production sidebar (CheckCircle
icon). This page lists every application you have submitted, with its
submission date and current review status.

If you haven't submitted anything yet, you'll see an empty state with a short
walkthrough and an **ADD APPLICATION** button.

## Step 3 — Add your application

Click **+ ADD APPLICATION**. A modal opens asking for:

- **Application Type** (Application type cannot be changed later)
- **Application Name**
- **Activation Email**

Submitting the modal creates the application in **Draft** status and takes
you straight to its detail page.

## Step 4 — Fill in the application details

On the detail page, work through the same tabs used for sandbox applications:

- **Details** — name and activation email (editable any time via "Edit
Details").
- **Scopes** — the permissions your application needs in production.
- **Webhooks** — endpoints that should receive real-time events.
- **Benefits** — services to auto-create when the integration is activated.
- **Events** — event configuration relevant to your integration type.

Before submitting, prepare the following — production reviewers will check
for this:

- **Application Overview**: what the application does and how it integrates
with the platform.
- **Scope Justification**: why requested scope/permission is needed.


## Step 5 — Submit for review

Once every tab is filled in and reviewed, submit the application for
production review. Its status moves from **Draft** to **Submitted**.

## Step 6 — Track the review status

Back on the **Application submissions** list, each application shows a
status chip:

| Status | Meaning |
|  --- | --- |
| Draft | Created but not yet submitted for review |
| Submitted | Sent to the review team, awaiting triage |
| In Review | Actively being reviewed |
| Accepted | Approved for production |
| Completed | Fully live in production |
| Rejected | Not approved — see notes and resubmit a new app if needed |


The info banner at the top of the page is a reminder: this list is
**read-only**.
