Set Email Notifications for Craigslist

Posted on September 6, 2010 at 5:37 am

Craigslist is a great place to find things—from jobs to pets to exercise equipment. Unfortunately, most items sell quickly on Craigslist, meaning that if we do not answer ads as soon as they are posted, we may miss a great deal or opportunity.

No one has time to constantly monitor Craigslist’s new postings, which is why some sort of third-party notification system can be an a major time-saver.

NotiFinder is one of the easiest-to-use email notifiers we have found for Craigslist. First, navigate to NotiFinder.com and enter the Craigslist location you want to search in the first textbox.

Next, enter the item or job you are seeking in the second textbox. Choose a relevant category where your item should be listed (jobs, housing, services, community).

A great feature is the ability to set a minimum and maximum price you are willing to pay for an item. This selection is directly under the category list.

Select how often you would like to receive email alerts. For the fastest results, choose As Soon As One is Posted.

Finally, type your email address in the last textbox and click Add!

In a split second, a message appears stating your request was added successfully.

For finding items, the service worked better than most we have tried. In the jobs category, we received emails that were irrelevant, but that may have more to do than the postings themselves than the service. Ultimately, the NotiFinder is a great way to save time searching Craigslist.
