Featured Workflows
Awards Workflow
Award programs launch, deadlines approach, and best-of lists refresh on their own calendars — none of which sync with yours. This workflow finds the awards, rankings, and recognition programs your company fits and alerts you while there's still time to submit properly.

Tell Featured what to monitor, when to look, and where to send results.
Describe the company
Industry, size, stage, and what's award-worthy — products, growth, people, culture. Fit determines everything downstream.
Featured watches the programs
New and recurring awards, rankings, and best-of lists surface with deadlines, criteria, and fees — timed so preparation is possible.
Submit with runway
Featured's chat drafts submissions against the judging criteria while the deadline is still weeks out — the difference between entering and competing.
Why run awards as a workflow
Companies don't lose awards on merit. They lose them on deadlines.
Runway
Warnings, not surprises
Alerts arrive with preparation time built in — a month out by default, escalating as dates approach — so submissions get evidence, not adrenaline.
Full map
Programs you'd never find
Beyond the two big shows everyone knows: niche programs, regional awards, and the refreshed best-of lists that quietly drive buyer perception.
Cycle
Wins turn into coverage
When results land, the same platform drafts the announcement, pitches the journalists, and adds the win to the sources AI reads about you.

Awards workflow — frequently asked questions
What does the Awards workflow do?
It continuously finds award programs, rankings, and best-of lists matching your company — industry, size, and strengths — and delivers them with deadlines, criteria, and entry fees to Slack or email. Deadline warnings arrive with enough runway to prepare a submission that can actually win.
What kinds of recognition does it cover?
Company and product awards, people programs (40-under-40, rising stars), workplace recognition (best places to work), startup competitions, and the best-of lists and rankings that buyers — and AI assistants — consult year-round. Each is labeled for what it is, including entry fees.
How do the deadline warnings work?
You set the runway — a month out is the default, and shortlisted programs can escalate at 30, 14, and 3 days. The point is preparation time: winning submissions are evidence-gathering projects, and evidence takes weeks to assemble well.
Can it draft submissions?
Yes — for any surfaced program, Featured's chat drafts the submission mapped to the judging criteria, tells you which evidence gaps to fill, and keeps your standard sections (company overview, achievements, metrics) reusable across programs.
How does it handle pay-to-play programs?
By labeling reality: entry fees are shown up front, and programs whose business model is selling trophies get flagged as such. Reputable programs charge to fund judging; the workflow helps you tell the difference before budget leaves the building.
Do I need a paid plan?
No — workflows are available on every plan, including Free. Runs pause when the daily usage cap is hit; a Free workspace's first run may pause on the 10¢ cap. Map your current award landscape free in chat first.
What happens when we win?
Work it: the workflow can watch for results, and on a win, Featured drafts the press release, the social posts, and the pitches to journalists who cover wins in your space — while Media Monitoring catches everyone who picks it up.
