Connect your LinkedIn job alerts

About three minutes, once. We never ask for your password, nothing else in your mailbox goes anywhere, and you can switch it off yourself at any time without telling us.

You'll need your private Glanceable address. It looks like in‑xxxxxxxxxx@glanceable.com and it's in the footer of every digest email we send you.

That address is yours alone. It's the only thing identifying forwarded mail as yours, so keep it private. If it ever leaks, tell us and we'll issue a new one.

If you don't have LinkedIn job alerts yet

Create one first: search a job title on LinkedIn, switch the Job alert toggle on, and set it to email. LinkedIn's own guide is here. Then come back.

In Gmail, on a computer

  1. Add your Glanceable address as a forwarding destination

    Gmail › gear iconSee all settingsForwarding and POP/IMAPAdd a forwarding address. Paste your in‑…@glanceable.com address.

    Forwarding and POP/IMAP Forwarding: Add a forwarding address in-xxxxxxxxxx@glanceable.com
    Illustration of Gmail › Settings › Forwarding and POP/IMAP. Paste the address from your digest footer.
  2. Google asks for a confirmation — we handle it for you

    Google sends its verification to your Glanceable address, which comes to us. Our system approves it automatically, usually within 20 minutes, and emails you when it's done. You don't need to click anything or wait on this page.

    Important: leave the forwarding option itself set to “Disable forwarding”. You are not forwarding your mail — you're only registering the address so a filter can use it in the next step.

    Disable forwarding leave this selected Forward a copy of incoming mail to … do NOT switch to this
    Your whole mailbox is one wrong click away here: the address only needs to exist as a destination. The filter does the forwarding, not this switch.
  3. Create the filter that forwards only LinkedIn alerts

    Settings › Filters and Blocked AddressesCreate a new filter.

    From: jobs-listings@linkedin.com OR jobalerts-noreply@linkedin.com
    Create a filter From jobs-listings@linkedin.com OR jobalerts-noreply@linkedin.com Create filter
    The From line is the whole trick: only LinkedIn's two alert senders ever match, so nothing else can be forwarded.

    Click Create filter, then tick “Forward it to” and choose your Glanceable address from the dropdown. Optionally also tick Mark as read and Skip the Inbox if you'd rather not see the raw alerts yourself. Click Create filter again.

    We suggest not ticking Delete it: if anything ever goes wrong with forwarding, the alert is still in your mailbox instead of your bin.

    When a message matches: Forward it to: in-xxxxxxxxxx@glanceable.com Delete it leave unticked, so you keep a safety copy Create filter
    Tick Forward it to and pick your address from the dropdown. Mark as read and Skip the Inbox are fine to add; Delete it is the one we advise against.
  4. That's it

    From your next digest onward, jobs from your LinkedIn alerts are screened against your profile like everything else — same gate, same honest reasons, same gap analysis.

Common questions

Does Glanceable see my email?

Only what the filter forwards, which is mail from LinkedIn's two alert addresses and nothing else. The filter never matches anything else in your mailbox, and we hold no password or login of yours.

How do I switch it off?

Delete the filter in Gmail (Settings › Filters). Forwarding stops instantly, on your side, without telling us. Reply STOP to any digest if you want your data erased too.

I use Outlook / Apple Mail / something else

Any mail provider that can forward by rule works the same way: create a rule matching jobs-listings@linkedin.com and jobalerts-noreply@linkedin.com, with the action “forward to” your Glanceable address. Email help@glanceable.com and we'll send steps for your provider.

Why forwarding instead of connecting my account?

Because you shouldn't have to trust us with credentials. Forwarding is one-way, covers exactly one kind of email, and you can end it unilaterally. That's the right amount of access for a job-alert reader.
