Watch a page for changes
The exact words that changed. Nothing when nothing changed.
- On a schedule: Every hour
What it does
The task
Open url and read the part of the page that shows section. Compare it with the last run. When it changed, send me the text that was added, removed or changed, word for word, with the link. When nothing changed, send nothing.
- It works in any website, in the workspace you pick, and signs in with passwords from your Cuiar vault.
- As a routine it runs every hour (cron
0 * * * *).
