How-to: Saving a search and getting alerts

Save your search criteria once, and CoverGuard watches for new matching properties so you never miss one.

Who this is for: everyone — Home Buyers, Sellers, Agents, Lenders, and Insurance Brokers. Where: the Search tab (/check). Time: ~2 min.


Why this matters

Markets move fast. Instead of re-running the same search every day, save it with a name and a notification frequency. When a new property matching your criteria appears, you get alerted — daily, weekly, or immediately. Agents can use this to monitor an area for a client without lifting a finger.


  1. Open the Search tab (/check).
  2. Run a search — enter an area, budget, risk filters, or a natural-language query like "low-flood homes in Tampa under $500K."
  3. Once your results appear, click Save this search (agents see Monitor this area).
  4. Give the saved search a name (e.g., "Austin flood-safe under $400K").
  5. Choose a notification frequency:
  • Immediate — notified as soon as a new match is found
  • Daily — a single digest each day
  • Weekly — a weekly summary
  1. Click Save.

Your saved search appears in the Saved searches panel on the Search tab.


Managing saved searches

From the Saved searches panel you can:

  • Enable / disable a search — pause notifications without deleting the criteria.
  • Edit the name or frequency.
  • Re-run a saved search to see current matches instantly.
  • Delete a search you no longer need.

You can save up to 20 searches per account.


What you'll see

When a new property matches one of your active saved searches, you receive a notification (in-app bell, and optionally email depending on your notification preferences). The notification tells you which saved search matched and links directly to the new property.


Tips

  • Use descriptive names so you remember what each alert watches — "Client: Smith — Sarasota waterfront" is easier to manage than "Search 3."
  • Disable instead of deleting if you want to pause alerts temporarily (e.g., while a client is under contract) — you can re-enable later without re-entering the criteria.
  • Combine with risk filters for precision: save a search with "insurableOnly" or a max risk band so you only hear about properties that actually fit your requirements.

Troubleshooting

  • "I'm not getting notifications" → check that the saved search is enabled (not paused). Also check your notification preferences under Account — you may have email notifications turned off. See Notifications & emails.
  • "I hit the 20-search limit" → delete or consolidate searches you no longer need.
  • "My saved search isn't finding anything" → your criteria may be too narrow. Try broadening the area or relaxing the risk/budget filters, then re-save.

Save your first search, then let CoverGuard watch for you while you focus on your active deals.
