Website Change Notification

A website change notification is an alert that fires when a page you named actually updates. If the mail only says "page changed," you still have to open the tab. That is half a product.

The other failure mode is volume. Footer years, A/B tests, and rotating ads train you to ignore the channel. Then the pricing edit lands and you treat it like the same junk.

Write the rule, not a selector

Say what counts. "Notify me when the listed price, plan names, or included seats change." Leave layout out. AyeWatch reads the page and summarizes the delta. You do not pick a CSS path. You do not draw a rectangle unless you are using a visual tool on purpose.

The real-time web monitoring guide covers intervals and channels. This page is the notification itself: a short note you can act on without a second investigation.

Where it should land

Push if you are waiting on a restock or a filing. Email if the page moves weekly. Slack if three people own the watch. Webhooks if a Zap or a bot should run next. Free Preview is push and in-app only. Paid adds the rest. Pro is $9 a month for 50 topics and six-hour checks.

AyeWatch is not an uptime product. A 500 from the origin is a different alert. Use this for copy, prices, jobs, and policy text.

Mute less by asking for meaning

Alert fatigue is usually a detector that cannot tell a restyle from a price cut. Semantic monitoring cuts the mute-and-miss cycle. You will still get a ping when the thing you named moves. That is the point of a notification.

Paste one URL you already check by hand. If the first notice is a sentence you would have written yourself, keep it. If it is a screenshot of a banner, you picked the wrong class of tool. A website change notification should survive a week of travel. If you still open the tab "just in case," the rule is too vague or the channel is one you already ignore. Fix the rule before you add URLs.
