Before You Start

Before running your first network scan, make sure you have:

  • ✅ Stable internet connection

⏱️ Time Estimate: Initial scans take 1-5 minutes depending on inbox size.

Running the Scan

Step-by-Step

  1. Click the Quick Ping icon in your toolbar

  2. Go to Settings or the Dashboard

  3. Find "Network Scan" or "Scan Gmail"

  4. Click "Start Scan"

  5. Wait for the scan to complete

What Happens

  • Quick Ping searches your inbox
  • Job-related emails are identified

Understanding Results

Troubleshooting

Large inboxes (10,000+ emails) may take several minutes. Let it run to completion - you can close the popup and it will continue in the background.

Some emails may not match our detection patterns. You can manually add companies using the "Mark as Applied" feature.

Try disconnecting and reconnecting your Gmail account. If issues persist, contact support.
