01

Add a website monitor

Create one monitor for each page and business purpose.

  1. Open AI Website Watchdog.
  2. Choose Add website.
  3. Enter a descriptive monitor name and complete public URL.
  4. Choose the check frequency and leave the monitor active.
  5. Save to fetch the first snapshot.
02

Understand the baseline

The first successful fetch becomes the reference for later comparisons.

  1. Open the new monitor.
  2. Confirm the status and Last checked time.
  3. Verify that the page is publicly reachable without interactive login.
  4. Wait for a later scheduled check or use Check now when needed.
03

Reduce noisy changes

Exclude page regions that change frequently without business meaning.

  1. Identify the dynamic element on the monitored page.
  2. Find a stable CSS selector for that region.
  3. Add the selector to Ignored selectors.
  4. Save settings and run a new check to validate the result.
Keep in mind

Avoid broad selectors that remove the actual content you need to monitor.

04

Run an immediate check

Use an on-demand check when timing matters.

  1. Open the relevant monitor.
  2. Choose Check now.
  3. Wait for the success or error message.
  4. Review the updated status and change history.
05

Review detected changes

A change record is evidence to inspect, not an automatic business conclusion.

  1. Open Change history.
  2. Review timestamp, summary, and available difference details.
  3. Open the public page to confirm the current state.
  4. Record or escalate the change only after human verification.
06

Troubleshoot a failed check

Access controls and page rendering can prevent reliable monitoring.

  1. Confirm the URL opens publicly in a browser.
  2. Check whether the site blocks automated requests.
  3. Remove invalid ignored selectors.
  4. Try Check now again and contact support with the URL and error if the failure continues.
FAQ

Troubleshooting notes

Common questions that can save a support request.

Why does the monitor show no change?

The page may not have changed, the changed area may be ignored, or the relevant content may be rendered in a way the monitor cannot compare.

Why am I seeing repeated noise?

Add precise ignored selectors for dynamic clocks, counters, banners, or other irrelevant regions.
