Starting a listing
Section titled “Starting a listing”Use the + button in the top bar, which offers Create Opportunity, Create Workspace and
Create Organization. A create button is also present on the Opportunities page.
The remainder takes place in a dialog; the current page is not left.
Two entry methods
Section titled “Two entry methods”The first step selects the entry method.
/a/opportunities in the appPaste & Autofill — paste a posting, an email or a brief, enter content directly, or attach files. The AI reads the input and populates the fields.
Fill Manually — proceed directly to the empty form.
Autofill consumes the organisation’s AI allowance. The dialog displays usage for the current month against that allowance. The allowance is shared across the organisation rather than held per member, which is why the figure is shown.
Both methods lead to the same second step. Autofill does not submit the listing; it populates the fields for review.
/a/opportunities in the appFrom a single URL it derived the type, the deadline, the source link and five tags —
biodiversity, conservation, wallacea, indonesia, grants — of which indonesia was
inferred, as the source page does not state it.
Two fields are consistently left unpopulated and should be completed manually:
| Compensation | Left as unspecified even on a funding call, because amounts are rarely written in a form it can parse. An opportunity left unspecified will not surface for anyone filtering by compensation. |
| UN SDGs | Not attempted at all — and the cost is the same as leaving compensation blank. SDGs are a browse filter, and a listing with none is never returned by it. Pick up to five goals from the seventeen. |
The description is a summary of the source page and should also be reviewed as a draft.
Completing the details
Section titled “Completing the details”/a/opportunities in the app-
Check the type. Autofill infers it; confirm it matches what a member searching would select. The full list is in the vocabulary reference.
-
Check the title. For most members this is the only text seen. State the requirement directly — “Web developer for a 3-month campaign site” rather than a general announcement.
-
Review the description and purpose. These are the fields autofill is most likely to misstate, as both summarise source text. Purpose is read semantically, so it should remain prose.
-
Correct the tags. Tags share a vocabulary with member profile interests, so
climate-justiceon a listing matchesclimate-justiceon a profile. Select existing tags; a tag used by no other record produces no overlap. -
Select SDGs. Up to five of the seventeen UN Sustainable Development Goals. Autofill does not populate these, and a listing with none is not returned by SDG-filtered browsing.
-
Set compensation and time investment. Compensation is
volunteer,paid,funding,barterorunspecified; time investment isone-time,recurring,ongoingorflexible. -
Set the location, or mark it remote. A Remote switch accompanies country and city. Location feeds the distance component of matching, which acts as a tiebreaker rather than a filter, so an approximate city is preferable to an empty field.
-
Choose visibility.
publicis anyone including signed-out visitors;networkis members only. -
Set a deadline. With one, the listing expires automatically. Without one it remains active until closed manually.
-
Publish. A draft is visible only to its author.
After publication
Section titled “After publication”/a/opportunities/me in the appPosted listings are under My Listings, which is Solo plan.
Mark the listing fulfilled once the need is met. This informs platform reporting on outcomes, and prevents members from responding to a closed requirement.
Editing refreshes it. Freshness is measured from the last edit, not the post date — so revising a stale listing genuinely helps.
Changing and removing a listing
Section titled “Changing and removing a listing”Editing also affects ranking. Freshness is measured from the last edit, so an edit both corrects the content and raises the listing. Editing requires Solo plan.
Deletion removes a listing from view without erasing it. A deleted opportunity is soft-deleted: it ceases to appear while the record is retained. Deletion is therefore a withdrawal rather than an erasure, which is material where the reason for deleting is a privacy concern.
A status change is preferable to deletion. Marking a listing fulfilled records that the need was met; closed records that it was withdrawn. Both preserve the history and both contribute to platform reporting. Deletion records neither. Delete a listing created in error; close one that represents a decision.
Summary
Section titled “Summary”There is no mechanism for posting an offer; the profile serves that purpose. Tags are the primary means by which matching locates a listing.
