send in

Dispatch for consideration

To send in is to submit something to a destination, typically an organization or authority: Send in your application by Friday, Viewers sent in questions for the panel.

It also means to dispatch someone to handle a situation: They sent in the troops, The coach sent in a substitute.

The phrasal verb emphasizes movement toward an interior or central point—into an office, onto a field, into a conflict zone.
