Prerequisites
An approved robot (note that you can also add a monitor when you create a robot directly)
How to set up monitors and notifications
Go to your Browse AI dashboard and select the robot you'd like to monitor
Click the Monitor tab
Select + Create New Monitor (or edit an existing one: click ... on its row, then Edit monitor)
Make sure Notify me by email if there is a change in a captured text is ticked (it's on by default)
Click Save
The robot will now email every workspace member who hasn't turned off notifications for this robot, once for each check that finds changes. The email shows the previous and new value for each change.
Tips for effective monitoring
Make sure your email address is verified
Test your monitor after setting it up
Check your spam folder if you're not receiving alerts
Set an appropriate monitoring frequency based on how often the data typically changes
What does monitoring do?
Monitoring lets you track changes on websites automatically. Instead of manually checking websites, your robot regularly checks for changes and alerts you when something updates.
This is helpful for:
Tracking price changes
Watching for new products
Following competitor updates
Staying informed about market changes
....and more.
