Notifications are essential for staying on top of your campaign’s progress, especially when using manual or semi-automated bidding strategies. They keep you informed about new qualified jobs, campaign status, and any issues that may require your attention.
How Campaigns and Notifications Work Together
If your campaign’s bidding delay is set to “until I approve”, Lancer will qualify jobs but pause sending proposals until you manually approve each one.
You can approve or reject jobs in two main places:
The Leads Overview page on Lancer’s dashboard (detailed separately).
On the go, via push notifications through Discord or Slack (if integrated).
Managing Notifications on the Go
When a new qualified job appears, you get a push notification on your phone or desktop through the selected app (e.g., Discord).
You see the job title, qualification reasoning, and client info.
Actions you can take right away:
Proceed: Approve and let Lancer send the proposal automatically.
Don’t apply: Reject the job and provide a reason (e.g., competitor agency, unsuitable job). This helps Lancer learn and avoid similar jobs.
Bidding Delay and Automatic Proposal Sending
If your bidding delay is set to a fixed time (e.g., 10 or 15 minutes), Lancer will:
Notify you of a qualified job.
Wait for your action during the delay period.
Auto-apply if you don’t reject within that time.
Your role during this delay is to reject incorrect or poor-fit jobs promptly to save connects.
Other Important Notifications
Running out of connects: Alerts when your monthly connects are nearly depleted.
Bidding failures: Alerts if a proposal could not be sent, allowing you to intervene manually.
Various campaign performance and issue notifications to keep you informed.
