How Hexowatch Works

1. Choose one or more monitoring types (e.g., visual monitoring of page regions, HTML element changes, keyword presence, price tracking, uptime availability).
2. Configure targets (URLs) and specify what to watch (specific selectors, keywords, or entire pages).
3. Receive real-time alerts when changes occur and access archived snapshots of each page at the time of change for compliance and audit purposes.
4. Use the built-in archiving to keep a historical record of pages as they evolve, useful for legal and regulatory needs.

Hexowatch integrates with Hexomatic for no-code web scraping and automation, so you can trigger workflows or data extraction in response to detected changes. It emphasizes scalable, automated monitoring for digital teams, marketers, recruiters, and security professionals.
