Managing Your Saved Searches & Alerts

In this article, we'll cover how to manage your saved searches and alerts—including changing frequency, renaming, deleting, and updating filters.

For help setting up your first saved search and alert, see Using Teal's Job Search.


Accessing Your Saved Searches

To manage an existing saved search, head to Job Search and click the Saved Search dropdown in the top right corner.

Updating Search Filters

If you need to adjust the filters for an existing saved search (for example, adding a new keyword or changing the location):

  1. Select the saved search from the Saved Search dropdown to load it

  2. Modify your filters as needed (add keywords, change workplace type, adjust salary range, etc.)

  3. Click Update Search in the filter bar

This updates both the saved search and any associated alert—new job matches will reflect your updated criteria.


Managing Alert Settings

Click the bell icon next to any saved search to open the settings panel where you can manage all alert options.

Turning Alerts On or Off

If you want to keep a saved search but stop receiving notifications:

  1. Click the bell icon next to the saved search

  2. Toggle Send Alerts off

Your saved search will remain available, but you won't receive email notifications. You can turn alerts back on at any time using the same toggle.


Changing Alert Frequency

You can switch between instant and daily alerts at any time:

  1. Click the bell icon next to the saved search you want to modify

  2. Find the Email Frequency dropdown

  3. Select either Instant (get notified as soon as new jobs match) or Daily (receive a summary once per day)

Your change takes effect immediately—no need to save.

Renaming a Saved Search

To give your saved search a more descriptive name:

  1. Click the bell icon next to the saved search

  2. Click Rename

  3. Enter the new name and save

Pro tip! Use descriptive names that include key criteria (like "Product Manager - Remote - 75k+") so you can quickly identify each search.


Deleting a Saved Search

To permanently remove a saved search and its alert:

  1. Click the bell icon next to the saved search

  2. Click Delete

  3. Confirm the deletion

This action cannot be undone. If you want to keep the search but stop notifications, consider turning off alerts instead.
