# FAQ

> Quick answers to common JobBeacon questions.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="How often does JobBeacon check for new jobs?" icon="clock">
    Free companies are checked at least daily. Pro companies are checked at least every 30 minutes.

    Pro users can also click **Poll Now** on a company page to check immediately.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why did jobs appear without an email?" icon="envelope">
    The most common reasons are:

    1. The jobs were already live during the first scan. Seed jobs do not send email.
    2. Email was muted globally or for that company.
    3. Your account is on Free and an email for that company was already sent in the last day.
    4. The jobs did not match your filters when JobBeacon first saw them.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why did a job I expected not match?" icon="filter">
    Check the company's filters.

    Keywords match job titles only. Locations match the job location field.

    A job must pass both filters. If a filter is empty, that filter passes everything.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why does Workday show 'N Locations' instead of real cities?" icon="briefcase">
    Some Workday listings do not expose all locations in the main job list.

    JobBeacon shows values like `5 Locations` and loads the full list when you hover or focus the location cell when possible.

    If you use location filters, turn on **Include unspecified locations** to include these jobs.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I send matched jobs to Slack, Notion, or Zapier?" icon="webhook">
    Yes, on Pro.

    Use [Webhooks](/webhooks) to send one signed JSON payload for each newly matched job. You can connect that endpoint to tools like Slack, Notion, Airtable, Zapier, Make, or your own app.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why did my webhook not fire?" icon="circle-question">
    Check these first:

    1. Your account is on Pro.
    2. The webhook is active in **Settings**.
    3. The endpoint uses HTTPS and returns `2xx`.
    4. The job was new, not part of the first scan.
    5. The job matched filters when JobBeacon first saw it.

    Review **Recent deliveries** in Settings for status and errors.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Are email settings and webhooks connected?" icon="bell">
    No.

    Email notification settings only control email. Webhooks have their own active switch in **Settings**.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I share a job with someone who does not have an account?" icon="share-nodes">
    Yes.

    Click the share icon on a job row. The recipient gets a public job preview and does not need a JobBeacon account.

    See [Sharing jobs](/guides/sharing).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why are share views lower than expected?" icon="eye">
    JobBeacon filters many link previews and bot visits from share view counts.

    Repeated views from the same visitor in a short window may also be counted once.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I watch LinkedIn or Indeed?" icon="magnifying-glass">
    No.

    JobBeacon watches company career pages and supported hiring platforms. It does not watch aggregators like LinkedIn or Indeed.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What if a company uses an unsupported careers page?" icon="building">
    Try to find the company's actual job board link from the careers page and paste that URL.

    If it still does not work, [email support](mailto:support@jobbeacon.app) with the URL.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Are there native mobile apps?" icon="mobile">
    No.

    JobBeacon is a web app. It works in mobile browsers, and email is designed to be readable on a phone.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Will JobBeacon apply to jobs for me?" icon="paper-plane">
    No.

    JobBeacon helps you find new postings. You still apply on the company's own career site.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens if I delete my account?" icon="trash">
    JobBeacon deletes your watched companies, filters, job history, notification preferences, manual share links, and webhook settings.

    See [Account & billing](/guides/account-billing#delete-your-account).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is there a status page?" icon="signal-bars">
    Yes.

    Open [status.jobbeacon.app](https://status.jobbeacon.app) to check API and polling status.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I report a bug or request a feature?" icon="bug">
    Email [support@jobbeacon.app](mailto:support@jobbeacon.app).

    Include the company name or URL if the issue is about detection, polling, filters, email, or webhook delivery.
