# Submission frequencies

The [BigQuery](/integrations/integration-reference/bigquery.md), [Google Sheets](/integrations/integration-reference/google-sheets.md), [Redshift](/integrations/integration-reference/redshift.md), and [Webhook](/integrations/integration-reference/webhooks.md) integrations send full answer payloads. Since answers change at a different cadence than analytics events (for example, StepLoaded does not ever save answers), there is a different set of events upon which answers are sent to these integrations.

## Never

With this submit frequency enabled, you will never receive answers. Use this to keep an integration configuration present while currently unused. 

## When the flow is finalized

With this frequency enabled, you will only receive answers for any completed flows.

## When a savepoint is reached or the flow is finalized

With this frequency enabled, you will receive answers after the user completes any [step](/creating-flows/building-a-new-flow/steps.md) marked as a savepoint, or when the user finalizes the entire flow.

## After every step

With this submit frequency enabled, you will receive answers at the completion of every step.

## When the flow is finalized or abandoned

With this frequency enabled, you will receive a set of answers:

* Immediately after the user finalizes the flow.
* At the last answer state, \~5 minutes after the user last interacted with the flow. 
* At the current answer state, whenever the user completes any step marked as a savepoint. 

{% hint style="info" %}
When a "finalized" payload is sent, a **`finalized: true`** flag will be included in the metadata. 
{% endhint %}

This is a great submission frequency to use if you don't want to have a firehose of data provided at every step, but you want to have record of partially-completed form flows.
