Element monitoring
Monitor specific HTML elements on any website. Get instant alerts when prices, availability, forms, or any targeted elements change.
1. Add New Job
In the upper-right corner of the dashboard, click Add New Job to start setting up a new tracking job.
2. Enter webpage URL
Enter the URL of the page you want to track for element changes, then click Go.
3. Select element to track
After the page snapshot loads, it defaults to Visual Mode. Switch to Element Mode, then move your cursor over the page snapshot to select the element you want to track. A single click confirms your selection, while clicking again cancels it.
4. Select content to track
By default, text is tracked. To track other content within an element, click the settings icon on the right. This will open the settings panel where you can select the content to track, name the tracked item, enable notifications, and configure the trigger conditions for notifications. If you only care about the latest changes, enable the Compare all history feature to prevent previously alerted changes from triggering duplicate notifications when they reappear.
5. Configure basic settings
- Job Name: Give the job a clear, descriptive name. This helps you easily identify and manage multiple tracked jobs in your dashboard.
- Notification Emails: Specify one or more email addresses to receive alerts when changes are detected.
- Frequency: Define how often Changew should check the selected page for changes. Choose a frequency that aligns with how frequently the monitored content is likely to change.
- Labels: Assign a label to categorize and organize jobs. Labels appear in the dashboard, allowing for quick identification and filtering.
- Tracked Item Name: This name is used to easily differentiate tracked items in notification reports and historical reports.
6. Start monitoring
After configuring all settings, confirm and start monitoring.
