Hi! Thanks for reaching out about not being able to select Craigslist Free Stuff Denver as a site for free stuff alerts in the Freebie Alerts app. To better assist you, can you tell me a bit more about what happens when you try to select that site? For example, does it not show up as an option at all, or does it give you an error when you try to add it?
In the meantime, here are some quick checks and steps we can try:
1. Confirm Location Settings: Make sure your app location or zip code is set correctly for the Denver area. Sometimes the free stuff listings are filtered by ZIP or region.
2. App Version: Check if your Freebie Alerts app is updated to the latest version on your Android 10 device. Older versions might not have all location options.
3. Site Availability: Currently, Freebie Alerts pulls free listings mostly from Nextdoor, OfferUp, Letgo, and TrashNothing. Craigslist Denver's free section may not be fully integrated as a selectable site but can still be accessed through links in the app's posts.
4. Refresh Data: Try refreshing the app or toggling off/on the site list to reload available marketplaces.
If after these steps you still can’t select Craigslist Denver, it’s possible that particular Craigslist region is not yet supported as a direct alert source within Freebie Alerts. However, you may still view free Denver Craigslist posts manually or get notifications if those items get linked in other marketplaces that the app supports.
Could you try these steps and let me know what you see? If needed, I can help you with a workaround to keep an eye on Denver Craigslist free listings while we look further into this.
Are you able to locate the Denver Craigslist free stuff listings within the app or only outside it?
Thanks for asking about a workaround to get alerts specifically for Craigslist free stuff. Since Freebie Alerts doesn’t fully integrate Craigslist Denver free listings as a selectable site yet, I can suggest a couple of practical alternatives for you to keep track of those posts easily:
1. Use Craigslist Saved Searches with Email Alerts: - Go to the Craigslist Denver free stuff section on your Android WebKit browser. - Perform a search for the types of freebies you want (or leave it broad to see everything). - At the bottom of the search results page, there’s usually an option to “save search” and to get email alerts whenever new posts match it. This way, Craigslist emails you directly when there’s something new.
2. Set Up Google Alerts for Craigslist Free Stuff: - You can create a Google Alert with search terms like “site:craigslist.org free stuff Denver” to get notified by email. It’s a general workaround that catches posted freebies on Craigslist via Google.
3. Use Third-Party Alert Tools: - Some tools and services like PageCrawl.io or Alertpedia can monitor Craigslist listings based on your keywords and send notifications. These may require a bit of setup but can be effective for instant alerts.
4. Check for Craigslist Links Within Freebie Alerts: - Since Freebie Alerts collects some listings from other marketplaces, occasionally freebies found on Craigslist might be shared there with links. Keep your general Freebie Alerts notifications turned on as a support layer.
If you'd like, I can guide you step-by-step on setting up Craigslist saved search alerts on your device or look into third-party tools compatible with your Android 10 WebKit environment. Would you prefer we start with the Craigslist native alerts or explore third-party apps?
Happy to provide step-by-step instructions on how you can set up Craigslist free stuff alerts using your Android device! Since Freebie Alerts doesn’t currently support direct Craigslist Denver free stuff alerts, here’s how to set up native Craigslist email alerts for free items:
### Step-by-Step: Setting Up Craigslist Free Stuff Email Alerts on Your Android Device
1. Open Your Browser On your Android 10 device using WebKit browser, go to craigslist.org and navigate to the Denver free stuff section by selecting Denver area and then "for sale" > "free".
2. Create or Log In to a Craigslist Account To save searches and receive alerts, you need an account. Tap “my account” at the top left and sign up or log in if you already have one.
3. Perform a Search In the free section, either browse or use the search bar if you want specific items (e.g., “furniture” or just leave it blank for all free stuff).
4. Save the Search At the bottom of the search results page, you will see a “save search” link. Tap on it to save this search under your account.
5. Enable Email Alerts for Saved Searches After saving, Craigslist will ask if you want to receive email alerts for new posts matching this search. Confirm yes.
6. Check Your Email Regularly Craigslist will now send you notifications via email whenever new free items matching your search criteria are posted in Denver.
### Optional: Organize Your Email Inbox You can create a filter or folder in your email app to keep Craigslist alerts easy to find and separate from other emails.
---
If you'd like, I can also help you with setting up Google Alerts or some third-party apps for Craigslist monitoring, but the Craigslist saved search email alerts are the most straightforward and reliable way to get notifications.
Would you like me to guide you through any of those other options too?
Are you satisfied with these Craigslist alert setup steps?

### Step-by-Step: Setting Up Google Alerts for Craigslist Free Stuff

3. In the box labeled “Create an alert about…”, enter a search phrase to target free stuff on Craigslist Denver. For example, try: <br> site:craigslist.org "free stuff" Denver<br> This tells Google to notify you when new results from Craigslist Denver mention “free stuff.”
4. Click the “Show options” button under the input box. Here you can: - Set how often you want alerts (e.g., “As-it-happens” for immediate). - Choose sources (keep it as “Automatic” to include all web sources). - Choose language and region (English, United States). - Choose “Only the best results” or “All results” — pick “All” for more comprehensive alerts.

- RSS Feed Readers: Craigslist offers RSS feeds for search results. You can subscribe to a free RSS reader app on Android (like Feedly), add the RSS feed URL of your Craigslist free stuff Denver search, and get frequent updates there.
