Questions

What can the AI do in Submittable?

It can search and read submissions, form entries, projects, forms, reviews, submitters, team members, labels, history, funds and payments. It can set submission statuses, move submissions to review stages, assign reviewers, add notes and labels, create labels, archive submissions and message submitters.

Does the AI see my Submittable API key?

No. Your API key is encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save it, it is not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start read-only. Changing a status with a message or messaging submitters sends email, and those actions can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your HeyMyApps link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

HeyMyApps has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own Submittable account.

Why is the password left empty?

Submittable's API uses your organization's API key as the username with a blank password. You only need to enable API access once under More › Integrations › API Access before you copy the key.
