Notifications
BidTroller can email you a morning digest of new jobs and send alerts for jobs that need quick action. You choose what you get.
The morning digest
- Arrives at 6:00 a.m. Central.
- Lists the new jobs that match your rules, likely fence work first, then nearest, then soonest due.
- A job is never sent to you twice. If you already got it in an alert or an earlier digest, it won’t come again.
- Jobs already closed or marked No bid are left out.
Alerts
An alert is a short email sent as soon as BidTroller finds a matching job that is one of these:
- High value: worth at least the amount you set.
- Short fuse: the bid is due within the number of days you set.
- Mandatory pre-bid soon: a mandatory pre-bid meeting falls within that same number of days.
Alerts found between 8:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Central wait and go out in the morning, so nothing wakes you up at night.

Send yourself a test
After you save your rules once, click Send me a test digest now. It arrives in a minute or so. Check Junk if you don’t see it.
If your company’s emails haven’t been turned on yet, a yellow note says so. You can still set your rules and send a test.
Stop or change emails
- Every email has a Change what you get link and an Unsubscribe link at the bottom.
- Unsubscribe works in one click, with no sign-in needed.
- To turn emails back on, open Notifications and click Save my rules.
For owners and admins
Owners and admins see two more boxes on the Notifications page:
- Who gets the digest: everyone at your company who gets emails. Add people without a login, like an office manager, by email. They get the daily digest with the company defaults and can unsubscribe at any time. Click Remove to take them off.
- Recent emails: the last 25 emails sent, who they went to, how many jobs, and whether they were delivered.
