Try it yourself with Zapier Agents
Build me an agent that watches [listing site or email alerts] for new apartments in [city or neighborhood] under [max rent] with [bedrooms] bedrooms and [must-haves]. Each time it finds a match, have it check that the listing is still live and send me a short summary with the link by [email or Slack]. Don't contact any landlord or send replies on my behalf; stop once the alerts are running and send me a test alert.
