The handoff

A dated roundup of relevant nearby listings with source details and a chosen private destination.

Keep in mind

A location can be sensitive, and listings may be stale or inaccurate. Use only a location the person chose to share, keep it limited to this purpose, show listing dates and sources, and confirm the intended private destination before sending a roundup.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Set location-sharing expectations

Explain what location is used, who can see it, and how a person can change or stop using it.

Choose a useful search area

Let each recipient select a distance and the days or times that matter to them.

Define listing-quality checks

Decide how to handle expired events, missing addresses, duplicate listings, and uncertain details.

Confirm private delivery preferences

Ask each recipient to choose and verify the private destination for their alerts.
