Hi,

 

I'd like to set up a notification that watches over some web address.

When the changes of content occurs, it should notify me via e-mail or something.

 

How can I do that?

What you could do is scrape the site using a HTTPCaller, save the entire response body in a database or text file. Then set up a second workspace to again scrape it but then compare it to the stored state.

However, this won't catch changes in for example images if the filenames don't change, dynamic content might be undetectable too.
