OLX.ua push alerts in the Android app

The phone is the device that is with you in the hour that matters, which on a marketplace this busy is the only hour a good advert really has.

  1. Prepare the result page

    On the site, choose the category and then the region and the town, add the district when the category has one, and set the price range. Mark the condition if it matters and filter out businesses if you would rather buy from a household. Order the page so the newest adverts are first, then copy its address with every filter still applied.

  2. Telegram Viber Email App push

    Add it in the app

    Install the Android app, paste the address and leave the app as the channel for this search. The short name you give it is what appears on the lock screen, so name it after the object rather than the category. Free covers one search checked every half hour, Starter five checked every ten minutes, Pro twenty on the fastest checks.

  3. Act on the push

    A new advert produces a notification on the locked screen; tapping it opens the advert itself, photographs, description and seller included. Everything found is also written into the in-app feed, which is the place to look after a few hours away from the phone.

Being reachable while the seller is still answering

A flat, a used laptop or a generator at a sensible price collects messages for an hour and then the owner stops reading them. Whoever got there early arranges to come round; everyone else gets the polite line about it being taken.

A push does not make you faster at typing. It simply means you find out while the window is open instead of after it has closed.

Why opening the advert matters more here

On a general marketplace the title is often vague and the price is often optimistic. Tapping through to the advert shows the photographs, the district and how the seller writes, all of which tell you whether this is worth a trip across town.

Doing that from the notification takes seconds, and the message you send afterwards reads like someone who actually looked, which is exactly the message sellers answer first.

Silent hunts and the feed that keeps them

Some searches are long shots by design: a specific camera lens, a particular armchair, anything you would buy only at the right price. Those should not be buzzing during a meeting.

Mute them and they go on collecting quietly into the feed. A minute of scrolling at the end of the day covers everything the patient searches turned up.

Following a move from another country

Many people watching Ukrainian adverts are not in the country that week. Running two or three searches in different cities, each with its own name in the feed, builds a real picture of what a budget gets where.

When the trip finally happens, the feed is the shortlist. You arrive with addresses rather than with a vague sense of the market.

Android for now, with other routes available

Push alerts work on Android today. On any other phone, or simply when you prefer to be told at a desk, the same search can be sent to Telegram, to Viber or to an email address, and every channel is open on every plan including the free one.

Channels can be combined and swapped without rebuilding anything: the search keeps its filters, its name and its history.

❓Frequently asked questions

Is this a replacement for the official OLX app?

No. Theirs is where you message sellers and manage your own adverts; this one watches the public search page you built and reports what is new on it.

Is there a cap on how many alerts arrive?

No. The plan limits how many searches run and how often they are checked, not how many adverts those searches find.

What if my phone was offline?

The push waits for the phone to reconnect, and the find sits in the in-app feed either way.

Can I watch several cities at once?

Yes, one search per city, within whatever your plan allows. They share one feed and are told apart by the names you gave them.

Do adverts posted before I joined get sent?

No. The first check takes stock quietly and alerts begin with what appears afterwards.

Can a search be paused rather than deleted?

Yes, and its filters are kept, so resuming it later takes one tap.
