Every job that Auto Bid touches is recorded with a status \u2013 whether it was just scanned, accepted by your filters, submitted, skipped, or failed. The full activity is visible on the Auto-Bidding<\/strong> dashboard, where you can audit each run, see which filters fired, and tune your rules accordingly.<\/p>\n

Where to find it<\/h2>\n

Open account.upwex.io\/auto-bidding<\/a>. The page has three blocks: stat cards at the top, period and user filters in the header, and a Job Activity table below.<\/p>\n

\"Auto-Bidding<\/p>\n

The four stat cards<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Jobs Scanned<\/strong> \u2013 total number of jobs Auto Bid opened and read in the selected period. Baseline counter for everything else.<\/li>\n
  • Matched<\/strong> \u2013 jobs that passed your filters and were queued for proposal generation. These are still in the pipeline; they only become Proposals Sent once the submission succeeds.<\/li>\n
  • Proposals Sent<\/strong> \u2013 jobs where the proposal was successfully submitted on Upwork. The “real output” of Auto Bid.<\/li>\n
  • Replies<\/strong> \u2013 replies received from clients on those submitted proposals. Synced from your Upwork inbox in the background.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Period and user filters<\/h2>\n

    The header controls the time window for all four cards and the table:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Current Week \/ Last Week \/ Current Month \/ Last Month<\/strong> \u2013 preset windows.<\/li>\n
    • Start date \u2192 End date<\/strong> \u2013 custom range picker.<\/li>\n
    • User picker<\/strong> (the people icon) \u2013 Owners and Admins of a team can scope stats to a specific teammate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The six job statuses<\/h2>\n

      Each job ends up in exactly one status. They show as colored badges in the STATUS column.<\/p>\n

      Scanned<\/h3>\n

      Auto Bid opened the job page and extracted the data (title, description, budget, client info), but hadn’t yet finished evaluating it \u2013 usually because the run was stopped or the tab closed mid-way. This is the default state when nothing further happened.<\/p>\n

      Matched<\/h3>\n

      The job passed Match Score and all your filters and was queued for proposal generation. If you see Matched<\/em> rows that didn’t progress to Submitted<\/em>, the run was probably stopped or the bidding tab closed before the proposal was filled in.<\/p>\n

      Submitted<\/h3>\n

      Cover letter generated, proposal form filled, submit button clicked successfully. This is the success state \u2013 every Submitted row spent your connects and is now waiting for a reply.<\/p>\n

      Rejected<\/h3>\n

      The job was scanned but did not pass one of your filters. The reason is stored alongside (Match Score below threshold, Red Flag triggered, fixed\/hourly skipped, job too old, etc.) and shown in the row.<\/p>\n

      Rejection is a feature<\/em>, not a bug \u2013 your rules are doing their job and saving connects.<\/p>\n

      Failed<\/h3>\n

      Auto Bid tried to submit the proposal but something broke. Common causes:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Out of AI credits<\/li>\n
      • Out of Upwork connects (or below the Stop on Low Connects threshold)<\/li>\n
      • Upwork rate-limited the submission<\/li>\n
      • Browser\/proposal tab closed mid-submit<\/li>\n
      • Upwork rejected the submission server-side<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Usually fixable \u2013 top up credits\/connects, slow the Scan Interval, retry.<\/p>\n

        Skipped<\/h3>\n

        Auto Bid intentionally passed over the job without fully evaluating it. Reasons include:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • You already submitted a proposal on this job earlier<\/li>\n
        • The job was closed or removed by Upwork while the run was active<\/li>\n
        • The job didn’t fit basic preconditions (e.g. Skip Fixed-Price toggle was on)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          The SCORE column<\/h2>\n

          The SCORE column shows the Match Score (0\u2013100) AI calculated for the job. Jobs that were skipped or failed before scoring show \u2013<\/code> instead of a number. Color-coded so you can spot strong \/ weak matches at a glance.<\/p>\n

          Job Activity tabs<\/h2>\n

          Three tabs above the table:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • All<\/strong> \u2013 every status, no filtering.<\/li>\n
          • Submitted<\/strong> \u2013 only jobs with status submitted<\/code>.<\/li>\n
          • Skipped<\/strong> \u2013 everything that didn’t<\/em> result in a submission. This bundle includes rejected<\/code>, skipped<\/code>, failed<\/code>, matched<\/code>, and scanned<\/code> rows together. Use this tab to audit why jobs didn’t get bid on.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Using statuses to tune your rules<\/h2>\n
              \n
            • Many Rejected with “Match Score below threshold”<\/strong> \u2192 either your Min Match Score is too tight or your synced profile needs updating.<\/li>\n
            • Many Failed with “rate limit”<\/strong> \u2192 increase Scan Interval or lower Max Bids Per Day.<\/li>\n
            • Few Submitted vs many Matched<\/strong> \u2192 bidding is breaking before the form is filled \u2013 check AI credits and connect balance.<\/li>\n
            • Few Replies despite many Submitted<\/strong> \u2192 the cover letter template is the problem, not Auto Bid. See Tracking Reply Rates & best practices<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
