Pro members can now track contractors more efficiently

Published on Apr. 25, 2017 by Steven Vance


We made two changes to improve how Pro members receive notifications for companies, including contractors, architects, and owners.

Subscribe to a name so you can catch all of the different ways a company is spelled.

Fuzzy names

Many companies appear under many names, so you’d have to find all of the variations and subscribe to all of them to ensure you get the right notifications. Now, though, you can subscribe to a name search.

Take the John Buck development company, which has building permits under nearly 20 names. Instead of finding every instance of the company, you can search for “john buck” and subscribe to “john buck”. Any time a company with “john buck” in the name gets a permit, you’ll get notified.

> Look for a company to subscribe to

All in one

Members will now get a maximum of one email per day containing all of the updates for all of the companies they’ve subscribed to. Thank you to S.G. for bringing this to our attention.
