Kick off a smooth onboarding for every new grant awardee

Every morning, WebRun opens Submittable, finds newly awarded grants where no onboarding has been started, prepares a DocuSign grant agreement envelope, drafts a welcome email in Gmail for the program officer to approve, and logs the new awardee in the onboarding tracker so nothing falls through.

In short

How do I automatically kick off onboarding for new grant awardees in Submittable?

WebRun checks Submittable every morning for newly awarded grants where onboarding has not started, pre-fills a DocuSign grant agreement from your standard template, and drafts a personalized welcome email in Gmail. Your program officer reviews and approves both documents before anything reaches the awardee.

  • Every new awardee has a pre-filled grant agreement and welcome email ready within hours of the award decision
  • Program officers spend time reviewing and personalizing, not building documents from scratch
  • No document or email reaches an awardee without explicit program officer approval

Questions, answered

Will it send the welcome email or DocuSign agreement to the awardee automatically?

No. Both the Gmail welcome email and the DocuSign envelope are staged as drafts for the program officer to review, personalize, and approve before anything reaches the awardee.

Can it use our existing grant agreement template in DocuSign?

Yes. It uses your existing DocuSign grant agreement template and pre-fills the awardee-specific fields from the Submittable record, so the document structure stays consistent.

What if the same awardee receives multiple grants in the same period?

It creates a separate onboarding package for each distinct award record in Submittable, so each grant gets its own agreement and welcome email staged for review.
