Worth the Pitch emails you the calls that fit you best and reminds you before deadlines pass. You control all of it from the Settings tab.

What you can receive

  • Daily match digest: a short email with your top new matches.
  • Deadline reminders: a nudge before a matched call closes. The default schedule is 7, 3, and 1 day before the deadline.
  • Priority alerts: included on the Growth and Pro plans, so strong fits reach you sooner.

Set up your notifications

  1. Open the Settings tab.
  2. In the Notifications card, tick the emails you want:
    • Email notifications (the main switch for email)
    • Daily match digest
    • Deadline reminders
  3. Enter a number from 0 to 100 in Alert me for scores of at least. Digests and alerts include only calls at or above this fit score.
  4. In Reminder days before deadline, enter the days you want, separated by commas. For example: 7, 3, 1 or 10, 5, 2.
  5. Click Save settings.

Set your alert score a little higher than your Minimum match score. For example, show matches from 65 on your dashboard and email only 75 and up. You browse widely on your dashboard and your inbox stays focused.

How the alert score and the match score differ

You have two thresholds, and each has its own job:

SettingWhereWhat it controls

Alert me for scores of at leastSettings tab, NotificationsWhich calls appear in digests and alerts

How fresh are the matches in my digest?

Matches refresh every 6 hours in the background and right after you change your profile. Your digest pulls from those results. Expired calls are hidden automatically, so the digest only lists calls that are still open.

Dashboard reminders

Email is one layer. Your Worth the Pitch dashboard also gives you:

Troubleshooting

I stopped getting emails

  • Check that Email notifications is ticked in Settings.
  • Look in your spam or promotions folder and mark our email as safe.
  • Confirm your email address is verified. The yellow banner at the top of the app appears if it is pending.

My digest is empty some days

The digest only includes calls at or above your alert score. On quiet days nothing new may clear the bar. Lower the number in Alert me for scores of at least if you want more.

I only want deadline reminders

Leave Email notifications and Deadline reminders ticked, untick Daily match digest, and click Save settings.

Put it to work on your next call for speakers.
