App review process
Learn how to get your app approved and listed on the Envoy Integration Directory.
After receiving your app submission, Envoy will follow up with you to kick off the app review process. The app review process involves 4 steps and is typically completed in 5-10 business days after submission.
Technical review of your app
For your app to be successful, it should offer a consistent and positive experience for the workplaces that use it.
To ensure that every app experience is delightful each submitted app is required to complete the following:
- A 30-60 minute call to demo your app - During the call, you will review your app install flow, onboarding, error scenarios, and user flows.
- A technical assessment for your app - During the call, your application code and architecture will be reviewed by Envoy. When your submission passes your app will move to the next phase, listing review.
- Testing by our app certification team - You'll provide our team a sandbox account to test your app install flow.
