Monitope is a service that automatically monitors web page changes and notifies you when updates occur. Never miss price changes, stock availability, news article updates, or any changes on pages you care about.

Monitope periodically checks registered URLs and detects content changes. When a change is detected, notifications are sent via email, Slack, Discord, Webhook, or other configured channels.

1. Periodically access registered URLs at your configured interval
2. Retrieve page content and compare with previous check results
3. Send notifications according to your settings when changes are detected

Generally, any publicly accessible web page can be monitored. However, the following pages may not be monitorable:

• Pages requiring login (partial support available)
• Dynamically generated JavaScript content (use Visual mode)
• Pages blocked by robots.txt
• Pages requiring CAPTCHA or authentication

Yes, the Free plan is available at no cost.

• Up to 10 monitors
• 100 checks per month
• 5 history items per monitor
• Email notifications

Consider upgrading to a paid plan if you need more monitors or higher check frequency.

Type	Description	Recommended Use
Full Page	Monitor all text on the page	News articles, blog updates
Area	Monitor only specific elements specified by XPath	Prices, stock displays, financial indices
Visual	Compare specific screen regions as images	Banners, image changes

XPath is a notation for specifying specific elements within an HTML page. Use it when you want to monitor only a specific part, like where a price is displayed.

How to get it in the monitor editor:

1. Select "Area" as the monitoring type
2. Click on the element you want to monitor in the preview
3. XPath will be automatically filled in

You can also get it from Chrome DevTools: Right-click element → Inspect → Right-click element → Copy → Copy XPath

You can set intervals as short as every 10 minutes.

You can also choose from the following schedule types:

• Interval: Check at regular intervals (10 minutes to 24 hours)
• Daily: Check once a day at a specified time
• Weekly: Check on specified days and times

Note: Check counts are applied to your monthly limit.

A feature for monitoring numeric changes like prices, stock quantities, or financial indices. You can set the following conditions:

• Notify when below: When price drops below specified value
• Notify when above: When stock rises above specified quantity
• Notify on % change: When value changes by specified percentage

A feature to ignore frequent but unimportant changes like "current time" or "view count" on pages.

• Change threshold: Ignore changes below specified percentage

Labels for grouping and managing monitors. With tags, you can:

• Filter monitor list by tag
• Manage related monitors together
• Configure notification channels (Slack, Discord, etc.) per tag

• Email: Notify to registered email address
• Slack: Notify to Slack workspace channels
• Discord: Notify to Discord server channels
• Webhook: HTTP POST to any URL

Please check the following:

1. Check spam folder: Email notifications may be filtered as spam
2. Check notification settings: Verify "Enable notifications" is turned on for the monitor
3. Check destination: Verify email address or Webhook URL is correct
4. Check cooldown settings: Notifications from the same monitor are suppressed during cooldown period
5. Check monthly limit: Checks stop when limit is reached

A feature to prevent continuous notifications from the same monitor.

For example, if cooldown is set to "1 hour", notifications from the same monitor are suppressed for 1 hour after sending.

Setting priority:

1. Monitor-specific cooldown (set individually per monitor)
2. User default cooldown (set in notification settings)

A feature that summarizes the day's changes into one notification. Useful when real-time notifications are too frequent.

• Set up to 3 delivery times per day
• Skip days with no updates
