Subscribe to all Deals across categories that get over a 100 Votes

Please let me know if there is anyway I could set up an alert that anytime a deal gets more than a hundred + votes OZB emails me.

I'm often travelling and can't check the site as often but hate to miss on something really awesome like the recent
+198 Vote Cerberus Deal

I can search for all deals by searching for Bargain and filter only deals, but there isn't a filter that filters for number of votes.

Sample search that gives lists out all the Deals Need a filter here to filter by number of votes, Like the filter in the home page setting.

    +1 for the great idea. Viewing Ozbargain every 10 minutes at work is getting quite tiring

    what i do is to subscribe to an events which automatically email me when A deal reaches the front page (a deal will be listed on front page when it reaches 20 votes as default)

    from my accounts —> subscriptions —> events

    you can also change the minimum votes required setting for a deal to be listed on front page from

    my accounts —> settings —> edit —> deals

      Actually front-page subscription is default to 20 votes, however it could send out an email for as low as 11 votes if it's a fast-rising deal. It does not use your personal minimum vote for front-page.

      Front Page Deal Subscription is probably one of the most useful-but-overlooked function. Turn it on will get you maybe 10-15 extra emails, which you can use Gmail filter to put into a special label, which then setup a different notification tune for that label on Android — that's what I've been doing. You won't miss an important deal.

        Scotty, That is indeed a solution though linked to the front page setting.

        please consider adding a search filter on this page that filters by number of upvotes.

        This will allow any custom search + vote limit to be set as a subscription parameter.

        Front Page Deal Subscription

        Scotty,
        I've been using this for a few days now and I get too many emails, Even when I've set my personal homepage limit to 40, I still get the emails when a deal reaches 20 Posts. Can you please explain is this how it's supposed ot work.

        Ideally I want to set the Upvote limite ridiculously high like 100 + so that I get emails only for the best of the best deals.

          I said it in my reply:

          Actually front-page subscription is default to 20 votes

          So your personal front-page limit does not apply there. Sorry currently we do not have configurable threshold for emails.

        • dealman on 07/05/2014 - 14:14

          OK understood, Please consider adding this feature, as this will certainly be used by many as seen in the vote above.
          Thanks,

    But also sometimes by the time deal reaches 100+ votes it's ozbargained. I rather not face palm
