🚀 Getting Started
Best Practice: Create Dedicated Tasks
We recommend creating separate tasks for each website you want to monitor. This approach offers several advantages:
- Optimized Configuration: Each task can be configured specifically for its target website.
- Independent Scheduling: Run different monitors on different schedules as needed.
- Isolated Error Handling: If one monitor encounters issues, others continue to function.
- Better Organization: Keep your monitoring efforts neatly organized.
- Easier Maintenance: Update or modify individual monitors without affecting others.
Example Configuration
Monitoring a Product Page:
1{ 2 "url": "https://example.com/product-page", 3 "contentSelector": "#product-description", 4 "sendNotificationTo": "user@example.com", 5 "aiMode": "true", 6 "loaderSelector": "networkidle", 7 "retryStrategy": "on-all-errors" 8}
📊 Understanding the Results
After each run, the system provides:
- Dataset Records: Detailed information about any changes detected.
- Key-Value Store: Current and previous content and screenshots.
- Email Notifications: Summaries of changes with screenshots (if configured).
Each output includes:
- The original URL monitored.
- Previous content.
- Current content.
- AI-powered analysis of changes (when enabled).
- Links to before/after screenshots.
🛠️ Advanced Configuration
Handling Complex Websites
For websites with complex loading behavior:
1{ 2 "url": "https://complex-site.com/dynamic-page", 3 "contentSelector": ".dynamic-content", 4 "loaderSelector": "networkidle", 5 "navigationTimeout": 60000, 6 "retryStrategy": "on-all-errors", 7 "maxRetries": 5 8}
Monitoring Multiple Elements
You can create separate tasks to monitor different elements on the same page:
Task 1: Monitor Pricing
1{ 2 "url": "https://example.com/product", 3 "contentSelector": ".price-container", 4 "sendNotificationTo": "pricing@example.com" 5}
Task 2: Monitor Features
1{ 2 "url": "https://example.com/product", 3 "contentSelector": ".feature-list", 4 "sendNotificationTo": "product@example.com" 5}
📈 Scheduling
For optimal monitoring, schedule your tasks to run at appropriate intervals:
- Critical updates: Every few hours or daily.
- Competitor monitoring: Daily or weekly.
- Documentation changes: Weekly.
Remember that more frequent checks may require additional proxy rotation to avoid being blocked by websites.
🔧 Troubleshooting
Common Issues
- No content detected: Check your CSS selector and ensure it targets the right element.
- Page blocking: Adjust the retry strategy or decrease check frequency.
- Timeout errors: Increase the navigation timeout for slow-loading pages.
Improving Detection Accuracy
- Use specific CSS selectors to target only the content you care about.
- Enable
aiMode
for smarter change detection and filtering. - Test your selectors in browser developer tools before configuring.
