What are monitors?
Monitors are automated tracking systems that watch for changes on specific web pages.
When you add a monitor to your robot, Browse AI automatically checks the page according to your schedule and notifies you when changes occur. You can add a monitor to any robot.
Setting up monitors
Each robot can have multiple monitors configured.
Here's what you can monitor:
Individual product pages for price changes
Category pages for new items
Search results for new listings
Competitor pages for content updates
Directory pages for new entries
Configuring monitor settings
When setting up a monitor, you can customize:
Monitoring frequency (hourly, daily, weekly, or custom intervals)
Notification preferences (email, webhook, or integration alerts)
Data handling (where to send extracted data when changes occur)
Change detection sensitivity (what constitutes a meaningful change)
Using monitors with integrations
Connect your monitors directly to your workflow by:
