How do I enter my commuter route and set-up the search agent?
If you have a fixed commuter route, you can find out here step by step how to set up a search agent in the ummadum app that will automatically search for new carpooling opportunities to your work or home every week:
- Open the ummadum app
- Tap on “Profile” at the bottom right
- Tap on the “gear” icon in the top right corner
- Tap on “Commute route”
- Tap on “Set up commute route”
- Enter your commute route (addresses)
- Tap on the arrow at the bottom right
- Select the days, on which you commute + the times for your outward and return journey
- Tap on the green arrow at the bottom right again
- Make sure that the slider for “Search agent” is activated (green)
Your search agent for ride-sharing, including your commuter route, has now been successfully set up. It may take a while for the search agent to find suitable ride-sharing options for you (10 minutes on average). You can see that the search agent has found rides for you by tapping on the ride-sharing activity again, and some days of the month are circled in green on the calendar displayed.
If you want to edit your commuter route, follow the above steps up to step 4 and then tap on “Edit commuter route”. If you want to delete the commuter route, tap on “Delete commuter route”. You may have to scroll down a little to do this.
