New Feature Request - Previous Client' Follow and New Job Notification

[promotics]

Hi,

I request a new feature which will be helpful for many freelancers.

They should be able to follow or subscribe to their previous or existing clients. So whenever there is new job posted by a previous client the freelancers who have worked with him should be able to get an alert that one of your previous clients has posted a new job. Also, a freelancer should be able to apply for a job from previous client at discounted connects.

Hi Syed,

That's a fantastic idea for a new feature! While Upwork doesn't currently have a "follow" option for previous clients, here's a trick you can use to see if they've posted new jobs:

1. Go to the Upwork homepage (as a freelancer).
2. Click on the search bar and type in a common word, like "I" or "need."
3. Make sure "Jobs" is selected in the search category.
4. Hit the search button.
5. On the left side of the search results, look for a menu with filters.
6. Click the filter that says "My Previous Clients."

This will show you any jobs posted by freelancers you've worked with before. It's a little like a manual "follow" for now. Hopefully, Upwork will add a true follow feature in the future!

Thanks, Imran
