# Offer your automation

> Share one of your published automations as a Marketplace app — Flow9 cleans out your private details automatically, then reviews it before it goes live.

Built an automation other businesses would love? You can **offer it to the
Marketplace**. Flow9 shares a clean, private-data-free copy — your original
automation stays yours and keeps running untouched.

<Info>
  Only a **published** automation can be offered, and only a **workspace admin**
  can offer one. Building and publishing happens in
  [Workforce Studio](/guide/workforce-studio/overview).
</Info>

## 1. Offer it

Open your published automation in the builder and click **Offer to Marketplace**
in the top bar.

Flow9 immediately prepares a **clean copy** and shows you what will be shared:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="We removed your private details" icon="shield-check">
    Your phone numbers, inboxes, calendars, and customer data are stripped out
    and replaced with blanks. Whoever installs the app connects their own.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Please check these" icon="triangle-exclamation">
    If we spot something that looks like personal info in your wording (an email
    address, a phone number), we flag it so you can remove it or confirm it's
    fine to share.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## 2. Describe it

Give your app a clear **name** and a one-line **description** of what it does,
and pick a **category** and **industry** so the right businesses can find it.
Two optional choices:

| Option                             | What it does                                                                                                                                        |
| ---------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Let others re-share their copy** | Off by default. If on, a business that installs your app can offer their own version back to the Marketplace. Leave it off to keep your work yours. |
| **Publish anonymously**            | Hides your business name on the listing — it'll show as "an anonymous author".                                                                      |

## 3. Submit for review

Click **Submit for review**. Every app is checked by the **Flow9 team** before
it goes live for other businesses — this keeps the Marketplace safe and trusted.

You can't submit while there are unresolved personal-info findings; clear or
confirm them first.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Submitted">
    Your app is in the review queue. You'll get a notification when there's a
    decision.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approved">
    It goes live in the Marketplace and anyone can install it. 🎉
  </Step>

  <Step title="Needs changes">
    If it's rejected, you'll get a clear reason. Fix it in your automation,
    publish again, and re-offer — it goes back through review.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Updating your app

Improved your automation? Publish the new version and offer it again. Once the
new version is approved, it **replaces** the old one in the Marketplace, and
everyone who installed the previous version is notified that an update is
available.

## What the people who install it see

* A plain-English walkthrough and an optional visual map of your flow.
* The details they'll need to connect (their own number, inbox, calendar).
* Your business name as the author — unless you chose to publish anonymously.

They never see your private data, your customers, or your original automation —
only the clean, sanitized copy.

## Frequently asked

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Does offering an app affect my running automation?">
    No. The Marketplace copy is a frozen snapshot. Your original automation keeps
    running exactly as before, and you can keep editing it.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I take my app down?">
    Yes — contact support to have a listing removed. Businesses that already
    installed it keep their own copy; it just stops appearing for new installs.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I earn anything from shares?">
    Not today — the Marketplace is free to install and free to offer. Paid
    listings may come later.
