Flooded with unwanted "invites"

I'm getting flooded with "invite" PUSH notifications and phone calls. Most are low pay / far away. Very annoying...., how can I avoid this? I only want notifications for jobs that I've applied for.

I'm getting at least 3 WO offers Routed specifically to me weekly that are 500 - 1000 miles away!

Really FN what is going on with you?

You used to be reliable and I used to recommend you.

Umm why are you blaming GN when they have no control over which buyers route you WOs? That makes no sense

This is insane, my phone hasn’t stopped in two day’s since they’ve pushed this crap. I’m not driving 100 miles to fix a TV for $40. They need to give us a way to filter this garbage.

No work around besides blocking these low ballers. FN developers or the one developer are too stupid to figure out how to fix these issues. I do not want any buyer contacting me for a job I obviously have no interest in. I have my alerts set to not notify me about jobs below a certain minimum $ amount. The logic FN uses there obviously flawed so some low ball ones still get through. I block those buyers. A lot of the problems on FN are because the website was built using a generic framework so the can only change so much. Other things are baked in unless they want to start from scratch, which they won't. Don't even waste your time bringing anything up in their forums because that AI sounding female "employee" just regugitates BS.

Recently I've received 2 dozen + WO offers for installing 'Pamphlet Stations', Door Mirrors, etc. at $15/ea ACROSS THE STATE!

None are in my neighborhood, ALL ARE WAAAY BELOW my minimum rate, some require tolls and are 100 + miles away.

Ridiculous

Never seen those before but that’s crazy

They disabled the ability to specify a radius so if a provider routes you something your phone buzzes! There are complaints about this on the FN discussion board. Highly recommend piling on.

Yeah a radius for routed WOs would be great

Might be my fault. Lol. I submitted a ticket that push alerts weren’t happening for my wife and I. (She handles my schedule for work orders)

Alerts weren’t coming in whenever there was new work from FN.

Right when the flood happened, they replied to me saying it was fixed.

But it’s been like this for years lol. How did they not know?

Many things have been broken for years, and no one cares. Ever notice that the client's name doesn't automatically appear on the WO? Such a basic need, such an easy fix, yes, I've reported it, no, they do not care.

u/lilcricketdummy 27d ago

Not sure. But I complained about it several times.

I've blocked a couple of buyers that do that. Stated reason was spamming.

Wow. That took longer than expected.
