Find Prospects Now How scans work
What happens during a Find Prospects Now scan of your Facebook groups — which posts are read, how matches are found, and what you need to keep running.
A scan checks the latest posts in each group you monitor and keeps the ones that match your keywords or AI criteria.
What a scan does
- The Chrome extension reads the most recent posts of each monitored group, using the Facebook session already open in your Chrome profile.
- Posts already checked by a previous scan are skipped, so each scan focuses on what is new. Posts older than about a month are ignored.
- Each new post is checked against your keywords. On Pro, posts are also checked against your AI criteria.
- Matching posts are saved to your account and appear in the dashboard New tab.
- Your notifications go out: Chrome alert, badge, webhooks, and the daily email summary.
Scans run in the background. No Facebook tab opens, and you can keep using Chrome normally.
How long a scan takes
It depends on the number of groups and how active they are — typically a few seconds to a few tens of seconds per group. The first scan of a group takes longer than the next ones. AI matching may finish shortly after the scan itself.
What scans never do
- Post, comment, react or send messages.
- Join groups or access groups your account cannot see.
- Ask for or store your Facebook password.
When scans run
- Automatically, every 1 to 6 hours — see Scan schedule.
- On demand with Run scan now — see Run a scan.
Both need a computer with Chrome running, the extension signed in, Facebook connected, setup finished and an active plan.
