This article outlines how to create and manage a Saved Search Notification, which allows users to create an automatic email notification that alerts them of new results for a saved search on the Job Listings or Events page. Saved search notifications are the best way to ensure you don't miss a new opportunity or event from your favorite saved filter sets.
How to create a saved search notification
1. Add your desired filters on the Job Listings or Events page, and select "Turn on email alerts for this search" on the bottom left hand of the screen. In this example, a student would like to be notified by email of new Google jobs in the Los Angeles area.
2. A "Success" pop up message will appear to confirm the search was successful.
Please note: if you would like to edit the name of the search select the "My Saved Searches & Alerts" menu on the bottom right of the screen and select the pencil icon to edit the name.
How to disable, or edit a saved search notification
To edit the name or frequency of a saved search, select the Saved Searches & Alerts menu and choose the pencil icon. Make your desired changes, and select OK. Choose "Disabled" to turn the saved search notification off.
How to delete a saved search
To delete a saved search entirely, select the My Saved Searches & Alerts menu and choose the trash can icon.
