The Job Alerts add-on stores each saved search as a job_alert post owned by the candidate, with postmeta like _search_keywords, _search_location, _search_categories, _alert_frequency, and _alert_email. Candidates ask the same questions: why no email arrived this week, how to broaden a search, how to pause an alert during a vacation, and which keywords actually match open listings.

SleekAI maps the alert post type and its postmeta into the chatbot prompt, so a candidate question about a quiet inbox gets an answer based on the real frequency and the real listings published since the last email. The bot can also suggest small tweaks: a broader keyword, a nearby location, or a less specific category, based on what is in the live job_listing index.

Generic bots fail because the alert logic crosses two plugins, the alert post type, and the job listing index. Without explicit mapping, the bot answers with a guide-style paragraph. SleekAI's data sources make that mapping a few clicks, and display conditions scope the assistant to the candidate dashboard where it does the most good.

Job alerts are one of the highest-intent surfaces of a job board, and they break in quiet ways. A candidate sets up a search, gets one email, then nothing for weeks. They assume the board has gone dark and stop coming back.

The truth is usually small: the keyword was too narrow, the location was a single city, the category mismatched what employers actually post. A chatbot blind to the alert meta cannot help, because it has no idea what was searched for. The data is already in WordPress as the alert post type and the listing index.

SleekAI maps that into the chatbot prompt at request time, so a question about a quiet digest gets a real answer with real numbers. Multibot mode lets a candidate alert bot and a general job-board bot coexist on the same site. Conversation logs reveal which alert configurations break most often, which is usually a sign that the search UI itself needs to guide users toward broader queries.

Bring-your-own-key keeps a high-frequency feature cheap to operate.
