Receive job summaries by SMS

The Find jobs + SMS summary workflow automatically searches for jobs matching your profile and sends you a text message with the top matches. This keeps you updated on new opportunities without needing to check the dashboard.

Before you begin: You need a Plus membership or higher to use automated workflows. You'll also need to add your phone number to your profile to receive SMS notifications.

Adding your phone number

To receive SMS job summaries, add your phone number to your profile:

  1. Go to your Profile page at /profile

  2. Find the "Phone number" field

  3. Enter your mobile number with country code (e.g., +1 for US, +44 for UK)

  4. Save your changes

Your phone number is used for SMS workflow notifications and future WhatsApp alerts. If you skip this step, the workflow will still run and track jobs—you just won't receive the SMS summary.

Setting up the SMS job summary workflow

To create an automated job search with SMS notifications:

  1. Navigate to Career Agent by clicking the bot icon in your dashboard sidebar

  2. In the Career Agent sidebar, click the timer icon to open Workflows

  2. In the creation form, give your workflow a name (e.g., "Daily job alerts")

  3. Confirm "Find jobs + SMS alert" is selected in the Recipe dropdown

Your workflow will now run on the schedule you set, searching for jobs and sending SMS summaries when matches are found.

How the automated search works

Each time your workflow runs, Career Agent:

  • Analyzes your profile, skills, experience level, and job title preferences

  • Searches across all your hiring regions for relevant opportunities

  • Identifies up to 20 strong matches based on your background

  • Automatically tracks promising jobs to your Job Tracker

  • Sends an SMS listing the tracked positions (if your phone number is saved)

You'll only receive an SMS if the workflow finds new matches. If no new jobs match your criteria, the workflow completes silently.

Understanding your SMS summary

When the workflow finds matching jobs, you'll receive a text message with showing how many jobs were found and added to the tracker.

To view full details, open your Job Tracker or check the workflow summary in Career Agent's chat history.

Managing your SMS workflow

Once created, your workflow appears in the Workflows list with status indicators and controls:

  • Run now: Trigger an immediate job search and SMS summary

  • Pause/Resume: Stop or restart scheduled runs

  • Edit: Change the schedule or workflow name

  • View History: See timestamps and results from past runs

  • Delete: Remove the workflow entirely

Workflows run on UTC time. If you're in a different timezone, adjust your schedule to match your local hours when you want to receive SMS alerts.

Troubleshooting

Workflow runs but no SMS arrives:

  • Check that your phone number is saved in your profile with the correct country code

  • Verify the workflow found new jobs (check the run history for "tracked 0" vs "tracked 3"—you only get an SMS if matches were found)

Getting too many alerts:

  • Reduce your schedule frequency (e.g., switch from Daily to Weekly)

  • Pause the workflow temporarily while you refine your profile preferences

Not finding relevant jobs:

  • Update your job title and skills in your profile to improve matching
