Job alerts are automated weekly email digests sent to subscribers when new jobs match their saved filters. They give candidates a direct route back to relevant listings without requiring them to repeat the same search. Subscriber count, delivery, clicks, and applications can also provide evidence about audience reach; none of those measures alone guarantees employer value or supports a particular price.

The **Email subscribers** page also lists people who opted into [matching emails](/docs/your-job-board/job-matching#matching-emails). Those emails use a job seeker's profile, not saved-search filters. Both streams share your plan's **Email subscribers** allowance.

## What happens after someone subscribes

| State | What it means | What happens next |
|---|---|---|
| Pending confirmation | The person used the public signup form but has not verified the address | Cavuno waits for the confirmation link to be opened |
| Active | The address is confirmed and a live stream is within your Email subscribers allowance | Cavuno sends a weekly digest when new jobs match |
| Waitlisted | The address is confirmed, but your Email subscribers allowance is full | They stay queued until a live stream frees a slot |
| Unsubscribed | The person opted out or an administrator stopped the subscription | No further digests are sent unless the subscription is reactivated |

Imported subscribers start as Pending confirmation, and their digests start once they confirm their existing sign-up. Only import people who signed up for your job alerts.

## Next steps

First, review the [job-seeker alert flow](/docs/your-job-board/job-alerts) so the public experience matches your expectations. Then use [Manage subscribers](/docs/job-alerts/manage-subscribers) to verify subscriber states and [Email deliverability](/docs/job-alerts/email-deliverability) if a confirmed subscriber reports a missing digest.
