Move reviewed grant applications to proper review folder

Automatically monitor updated budget review records in Zengine and their linked applications across Zengine. Create and update when budget reviews reach the configured completed stage and a funding decision is setβ€”so you can route applications to the right review folder, update their stage, and keep reviews consistent without manual record routing.

How this automation routes reviewed grants to the right review folder

When an updated budget review record reaches the configured completed stage without an automated move, applications can land in the wrong queue and stall review. This automation finds the linked application, filters qualifying decisions, and updates the application record folderβ€”so your team stays organized and fast.

  1. 1.Detects budget review updates

    Integrate Zengine to capture the budget review record ID and linked application reference for downstream updates.
