Snowflake Native App listing approval flow

The image below shows the approval process for a Snowflake Native App listing on Snowflake Marketplace. The steps below the image describe the actions that providers take when following the workflow.

  1. Create a Snowflake Native App package.

    For more information, see Tutorial 1: Create a basic Snowflake Native App.

  2. To initiate an automated security scan, set the DISTRIBUTION property for the application package to EXTERNAL.

    • If the automated security scan fails, Snowflake will perform a manual security review that can take approximately 3 business days.

    • If the Snowflake Native App uses Snowpark Container Services (SPCS), then you must complete a security questionnaire. After the questionnaire is approved, the automated security scan starts.

  3. Create a listing and submit it for approval.

    For more information, see Share an app with consumers.

  4. Snowflake reviews the listing metadata and conducts a functional review of the Native App, ensuring that it meets all Snowflake Marketplace enforced requirements.

    • If your listing is approved, it will then be published and available on Snowflake Marketplace.

      Note

      If you submitted your listing using manual publishing, the listing will not be published. The listing will remain approved until you manually publish the listing. For more information, see Submit your listing for approval.

    • If your listing is rejected, Snowflake will reach out using the emails listed in the profile contacts (business and technical) with feedback on the application. Reviews may take up to 14 days.
