A complete guide to Web Monitor: every screen of the side panel, every option of the builder and every page of the dashboard, with real examples. Search, or pick a section.
What Web Monitor is, how its parts fit together, and your first monitor in a couple of minutes.
Web Monitor watches any element of any page (prices, stock, text, lists, images) and alerts you when it changes the way you said. It has two parts that stay in sync.
A monitor watches one page for you: it checks it on a schedule and alerts you when what you picked changes the way you said. You can set one up by hand, as below, or ask the assistant.
Click the extension's icon in Chrome's toolbar for a quick view without opening the side panel.
When a monitor's conditions are met, an alert goes out on every channel you chose for that monitor. Checks that only record a change, without meeting the conditions, never notify you: you find them in the history and the activity page.
The side panel opens next to the page you are on. It knows which page that is, so it shows what you can do there and the monitors you already have for it.
The panel's first tab is about the page in front of you: start watching it, and see the monitors you already have for it.
The assistant sets monitors up from a sentence. It sees the page you are on, so it finds the right element on it, and it edits the same monitor you see in the builder. It can also change a monitor you already have on this page.
The panel's “Monitors” tab shows all your monitors, from any page, with their latest value.
Macros are saved sequences of steps (clicks, typing, waits) that several monitors can share. You record them by doing the steps once on the page.
The builder opens in the side panel whenever you create or edit a monitor. It has numbered sections that read top to bottom; the first ones are open, the rest fold away until you need them. You and the assistant edit the same monitor, so you can mix both.
The area is what the monitor reads on the page. Each element you pick becomes a target, with a name and a live preview of its value; the conditions compare these values from one check to the next.
Conditions decide when a change becomes an alert. Without them, any change alerts you. With them, every change is still recorded in the history, but only the ones that meet the rules notify you.
How often the page is checked, and when. Checks run in your browser while Chrome is open; the countdown in the panel shows when the next one is due.
Where the monitor's alerts go. Turn on as many channels as you like; they all fire together for each alert.
Steps prepare the page the way you would before reading it: close a cookie banner, choose an option, search for something, sign in. They need full-browser reading.
Cookie rules change the site's cookies around each check. They are for sites that show different content depending on cookies: a region, a currency, a returning-visitor price. Most monitors don't need them.
Everything else that shapes a check: how the page loads, what happens after an alert, and switches for difficult sites.
The web app is where you follow everything your monitors find, set up where alerts go, and manage your account. It is always in sync with the extension.
The dashboard's home lists every monitor with its status, last check and unread alerts. The numbers on top sum up this week: checks, alerts and failures.
Everything about one monitor: what it reads now, how it has changed over time and what it sent you.
The activity page lists every change your monitors detected, newest first, grouped by day. Each row shows what changed (before and after), whether it was an alert, and the screenshot of the page when the monitor takes them. A dot marks alerts you haven't seen yet.
The channels your alerts use besides the browser, set up once for all your monitors. Each monitor then chooses which ones to use.
