Creating Search Alerts



 
creating search alerts
Search Alerts are an email notification service where you can have the newest Ads on Gumtree sent to your email address. These searches can be created for an entire category or for a given search term and will be emailed to you immediately, daily, or weekly — depending on your preference. Note: You will need a keyword in your Search Alert to select the Immediate frequency option.

You will receive emails for 90 days from the day you activate the Search Alert.


How do I create a Search Alert?
  • Search on Gumtree for the type of Ads you're interested in.
  • Please note that if you're not doing a keyword search, you must pick a category and location. If you run a keyword search, then you must pick either a category or a location in order to save. The more specific your search, the more relevant your results will be.
  • Use the slider to turn on the search Alert.
