Example use cases

• Government department updates (changes are often only on their websites)
• Local government news (changes are often only on their websites)
• New software releases, security advisories when you're not on their mailing list.
• Festivals with changes
• Realestate listing changes
• COVID related news from government websites

Notifications

ChangeDetection.io supports a massive amount of notifications (including email, office365, custom APIs, etc) when a web-page has a change detected thanks to the apprise library. Simply set one or more notification URL's in the [edit] tab of that watch.

Just some examples

discord://webhook_id/webhook_token
flock://app_token/g:channel_id
gitter://token/room
gchat://workspace/key/token
msteams://TokenA/TokenB/TokenC/
o365://TenantID:AccountEmail/ClientID/ClientSecret/TargetEmail
rocket://user:password@hostname/#Channel
mailto://user:[email protected][email protected]
json://someserver.com/custom-api
syslog://

And everything else in this list!
