Find Prospects Now Scan schedule
Choose how often Find Prospects Now scans your Facebook groups — every 1 to 6 hours, or only when you start a scan manually.
Go to Settings → Scan Settings → Scan Frequency and choose Run a scan:
| Option | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Every 1 hour | Scans about every hour. |
| Every 2 hours (default) | Scans about every two hours. |
| Every 3, 4, 5 or 6 hours | Scans less often. |
| Only manual scan | No automatic scans. Scan only when you click Run scan now. |
Click Save scan settings. The new frequency applies before the next scan.
How the schedule behaves
- Scheduled times vary by a few minutes around the interval.
- After a manual scan, the next automatic scan is planned one interval after it finished — no back-to-back scans.
- If the computer was asleep or Chrome was closed at scan time, the scan runs shortly after it is back.
- The dashboard header and the extension page show the Next scan time.
Choosing a frequency
- Every 1–2 hours for time-sensitive services where the first reply wins (emergency repairs, moving, cleaning).
- Every 4–6 hours for considered purchases or if you review leads once or twice a day.
- Only manual if you prefer to scan right before you sit down to reply.
Chrome and your computer must stay available for scheduled scans. See Requirements.
