What a content watch is and when to use it

Site Monitoring answers "can the site be opened"; a content watch answers "did this thing on the page change":

Track competitor/product prices — notified on change;
Track stock status (in-stock/out-of-stock wording);
Track updates to version numbers, announcement bars, careers pages, policy pages;
Watch whether key blocks of your own site (ICP filing number, support phone, QR code) get tampered with.

#How it works

On your chosen interval it fetches the page → pulls out that one piece using an extraction rule → compares with the previous value → on difference records a change and notifies per your conditions. Every change keeps a snapshot, so history and diffs are replayable.

#Difference from site monitoring

	Site monitoring	Content watch
Target	Whole-site availability	One part of a page
Alert means	Down / slow / error	Content changed / condition met
Typical cadence	1–10 minutes	Minutes to hours

Start with Create a watch with the wizard — most cases don't need hand-written rules;
For precise targeting see Extraction rules.
