\n ChangeMon v2\n \n \n ChangeMon v2\n \n \n ChangeMon exists so that you never have to check a web page manually for a\n piece of information you are interested in. So, forget about that F5\n button and setup a monitor and tell ChangeMon exactly how you want that\n page monitored. It will send you an email notification as soon as that\n piece of information changes. Here are a few highlights of what ChangeMon\n can do...\n

\r\n Please get in touch with us for any and all support requests by filling\r\n in the form below and we will get back to you within 24 hours.\r\n
\r\n \r\n\r\n Additions: If you'd like to be notified when a word or phrase is\r\n added to a web page, please select the first option from the\r\n notification type dropdown and enter your word or phrase (case\r\n insensitive) in the next box.\r\n
\r\n\r\n Removals: If you'd like to be notified when a word or phrase is\r\n removed from a web page, please select the second option from the\r\n notification type dropdown and enter your word or phrase (case\r\n insensitive) in the next box.\r\n
\r\n\r\n Specific Elements: If you'd like to be notified when a specific\r\n part of a web page changes, please select the third option from the\r\n notification type dropdown and click inside the next box to launch the\r\n element picker. A new window will then open. Give it a couple of seconds\r\n to load your page. You can then hover your mouse pointer over the\r\n section/element you are interested in and simply click to choose the\r\n highlighted area shown in yellow and red as your target element. A lot\r\n more advanced scenarios are possible and the element picker is only\r\n meant to be a simple visual tool. Check the Tips section and the\r\n Community sections above to see what's possible. Please get in\r\n touch with us for any advanced requirments and we will be glad to help\r\n you create the exact type of monitor you need if it's technically\r\n possible to do so.\r\n
\r\n\r\n RSS/Atom Feeds: If you'd like to monitor an RSS feed for new\r\n items, select the 4th option from the notification type dropdown. For\r\n Atom feeds, please change the XPath to\r\n /feed/entry[1]/title\r\n
\r\n\r\n\r\n You can see a list of example monitors covering a wide variety of use\r\n cases by
\r\n These are just basic examples of what you can do with ChangeMon. A lot\r\n more advanced scenarios are possible with customized XPaths. Please\r\n refer to the Tips and Community section for more info or\r\n simply get in touch with us using the Contact Us link above and\r\n we will be more than glad to help you with your specific requirements.\r\n
\r\n Too many emails: If you are getting too many emails, please\r\n select a less frequently changing element which is at a deeper level or,\r\n you can simply increase the check interval time to either 'Every day' or\r\n 'Every week'.\r\n
\r\n\r\n Multiple terms: If you would like to monitor for the addition or\r\n removal of multiple terms on a page, you can specify the terms in a\r\n comma seperated string and append either {any} or {all} to\r\n the end of the string to tell the system to either match any of the\r\n terms or all of the terms. For example, to watch a page for the removal\r\n of both the terms \"out of stock\" and \"preorder now\", you can enter the\r\n string: out of stock , preorder now {all}\r\n
\r\n\r\n Change highlighting: If you would like to disable the green and\r\n red diff style change highlighting, please append {nodiff} to\r\n your XPath. For example: /html/body {nodiff}
\r\n The default diffing algorithm is character based. If you would like to\r\n do word based diffing, please append {diffwords} to the XPath.\r\n Word based diffing is recommended when the result of your XPath is a\r\n short string of text. Character based diffing is best for a large volume\r\n of text.\r\n
\r\n Non-existent elements: If you'd like to be notified when an\r\n element that does not yet exist on the page gets added in the future,\r\n you can append {allowempty} to the end of your XPath. For ex:\r\n /html/body/table {allowempty}\r\n
\r\n\r\n Ignore non-existent elements: By default, you will be notified\r\n when an element you are watching disappears from the page. If you don't\r\n want to be notified of the removal of your target element and only wish\r\n to be notified about a change to the content of your target element, you\r\n can append {ignorenonexistent} to your Xpath. For ex:\r\n /html/body/table {ignorenonexistent}\r\n
\r\n\r\n Source code changes: If you'd like to be notified when there's a\r\n change in the underlying source-code and not just the visible text of\r\n the content you are monitoring, you can append {watchsource} to\r\n the end of the XPath. For ex: /html/body/div {watchsource}\r\n
\r\n\r\n Sorting elements: If you'd like to sort the matched elements in\r\n ascending order, you can append {sort} to the end of your XPath.\r\n For ex: /html/body/table/tr {sort}\r\n
\r\n\r\n JSON to XML: You can convert a page that returns a JSON result\r\n to XML on the fly and use an XPath for selecting desired elements by\r\n appending {jsontoxml} to the Xpath. For this to work, you must\r\n create a monitor as a RSS type monitor.\r\n
\r\n\r\n Include Links: If you want to monitor a list of links ('a' tags)\r\n on a page, only the link titles/inner text will be watched by default.\r\n If you'd like to monitor the link titles as well as the full URL of the\r\n link, you can append {includelinks} to the end of your Xpath.\r\n
\r\n For ex: /html/body/div/a {includelinks}\r\n
\r\n Regex Matching: You can filter matched elements further by\r\n supplying a regex pattern by appending it to the XPath within double\r\n curly braces like so: {{PATTERN}} For ex: /html/body//h1\r\n {{ this.emailRegex }}
\r\n The above XPath will select and monitor all h1 tags that contain an\r\n email address.\r\n
\r\n Posting data: Pages are fetched using \"GET\" requests by default.\r\n If you'd like us to fetch a page using a \"POST\" request by posting some\r\n data, simply append your data to the end of the URL like so:
\r\n http://website.com/seach
For example if you want to monitor a UPS tracking page, append the\r\n post data to the URL like so:
http://wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/track?
If you don't know how to use Chrome Developer Tools to sniff out\r\n the post parameters in order to construct a working URL for posting\r\n data, please ask in the Community section or send in a support request\r\n from the Contact Us page above.\r\n
\r\n Cookie support: You can specify cookies for a particular page by\r\n appending the cookie name/value pairs to the URL like so:\r\n http://example.com/myaccount?cookiedata=name1:value1,name2:value2.\r\n This feature is only supported with non RSS type monitors. Do not use\r\n with sites that contain sensitive data. This feature is still\r\n experimental and we cannot guarantee that your cookies will be secure.\r\n Use at your own risk.\r\n
\r\n\r\n Rendering delay: If a certain page does not load all of it's\r\n contents in time when you use the element picker or you are getting\r\n false positive notification emails, you may give our rendering engine\r\n more time to finish loading the page by adding a query string to the URL\r\n like so: http://example.com/?renderdelay=5. The default rendering\r\n time is 3 seconds. You may specify a value anywhere from 1 to 10.\r\n
\r\n\r\n Rendering as mobile device: \r\n You can force rendering the mobile view of a web page by appending a\r\n query string to the url like so: http://example.com/
\r\n Blocked websites: If ChangeMon has been blocked by your desired\r\n website from accessing their servers, please let us know using the\r\n Contact Us page and we will investigate further on how to get around\r\n their blocks.\r\n
\r\n\r\n Hidden elements: If the element you are interested in cannot be\r\n visually selected by the element picker due to it being hidden from\r\n view, you can do the following to setup a monitor for that page element:\r\n
