I had a great coffee chat, during which the employee offered to refer me. I sent him my application materials on Friday. How can I know if my referral has been submitted? How soon is too soon to follow up? I’m worried about the posting closing.

I usually get an automated email from the company asking me to apply to the position I was referred to. I’d say it’s ok to follow up 2 business days after the conversation.
