The New monitor wizard gets you started. This page covers what to adjust afterward so a monitor stays useful as the site evolves.
Open monitor settings
From Dashboard → Monitors, open a monitor. Use the settings area (or equivalent tab) for that monitor to update options without recreating it.
Check frequency
Match how often we run checks to how volatile the page is:
- Pricing, news, or status pages — shorter intervals if missing a same-day change would hurt.
- Stable legal or reference docs — daily or weekly is often enough.
Your plan sets the shortest interval available; slower options remain open to everyone when they fit.
Monitor location (geolocation)
Available on paid plans.
If visitors in different countries see different prices, copy, or availability, pick the region(s) that match your audience. Staying consistent avoids false positives from locale switching.
See Geolocation monitoring for why this matters and the full region list.
Page region (focus on part of the page)
If only one section matters (hero, table, footer legal text), narrow the preview region when editing the monitor or during setup. That keeps comparisons centered on the slice you care about.
This is separate from monitor location: one is which part of the page, the other is where in the world we load the page from.
AI alert triggers
Available on paid plans.
Refine the plain-language prompt when alerts are too noisy or too quiet. Good prompts read like instructions to a teammate: what to watch, what to ignore, and what “important” means for you.
More examples: AI-assisted monitoring.
Notification channels
Link or unlink channels per monitor so the right team gets each alert. You manage the list of channels under Dashboard → Channels; here you only choose which ones apply to this URL.
Anti-bot behavior
Available on paid plans.
Heavily protected sites are handled with smarter browser capture automatically. You normally do not configure this per monitor. Details: Anti-bot resolution.
