[feature] monitor entire websites for changes #2063

Open x0tester0x opened 6 months ago

x0tester0x commented 6 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm always frustrated when a website like a shop has multiple subpages, but I want to monitor each site inclusive the subpages.

Describe the solution you'd like When you add a website to monitor and you select to monitor the entire website, it should scan the website for subpages. Then you choose which subpages you are interested and these will then monitored by HTML, CONTENT or VISUAL changes, depending on the need. Here is an example how I can do this with ChangeTower: Monitor Entire Website for Changes

Describe the use-case and give concrete real-world examples I want to monitor if a shop adds new products or changes some prices of existing products, not only for one subpage or category, but for the entire website.

That is strange, it was added nearly a year ago

Could you try "view source" and see if the text "Send test notification" appears?

And what about restarting the app, did it make the button appear?

Ok, the Button appeared now, but when I send the test notification, nothing happens. It is running in a docker container behind a reverse proxy...
