Web Monitor offers a powerful way to stay informed about website changes. By using a webhook, you can receive instant notifications whenever a monitor task detects a change. A webhook is simply a URL on your web application that Web Monitor can call. This call triggers any processing you've set up to handle the notification.
To use this feature, provide Web Monitor with the appropriate webhook URL. When a change is detected, Web Monitor will append the following query parameters to your URL:
id
- the unique identifier of the web monitor that detected the change.name
- the name you assigned to the web monitor.
url
- the original URL that is being monitored by the task.
For instance if your web hook is https://www.example.com/web-hook/
and you are monitoring https://www.anotherwebsite.com/
with a web monitor task the web hook call will look something like this.
https://www.example.com/web-hook/?id=232424242&name=My+Monitor&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.anotherwebsite.com%2F
