Description

I am using the WP-Job-Manager plugin and have the "Alerts" extension so candidates can create job alerts for jobs matching their criteria.

Currently, candidates can only select from Daily, Weekly or fortnightly intervals for their alerts but for my website having an Instant alert would be more suitable.

Would it be possible to create an "Instantly" option so candidates will receive a job alert instantly as soon as a job matching their criteria is posted?

Thank you,

Jai

Research direction

The request concerns the WP-Job-Manager Alerts extension, but it names no files, tests, or code entry points. Start by locating the Alerts extension's alert scheduling and job-post handling, then determine how an instantly selectable interval could trigger matching alerts; done means candidates can choose Instantly and receive matching alerts when a job is posted.
