Monitor

PageWatch

Watch meaning, not just pixels.

PageWatch monitors a selected DOM element rather than treating the whole page as an undifferentiated screenshot. It can recognize text, numeric, visibility, stock, or state changes and include useful before-and-after context in an alert.

01
Why this capability exists

From friction to a clear outcome

The user problem

People repeatedly revisit pages to check a price, job, tender, status, availability, or competitor update. Whole-page screenshot comparison creates noise when layouts or unrelated content change.

The TabTwin answer

PageWatch monitors a selected element and the meaning of the change that matters. It can detect text, numeric, visibility, availability, and state conditions, then send an alert with useful before-and-after context.

02
Real-world scenario

Get notified when a tender status changes to open

  1. 1

    Open the tender page and select the status element

  2. 2

    Define the meaningful condition: status becomes Open

  3. 3

    Choose the check frequency and alert channel

  4. 4

    Let PageWatch evaluate the selected element

  5. 5

    Receive a contextual before-and-after alert

03
End-to-end workflow

How PageWatch works

  1. 01

    Select a price, status, result, job, tender, or other page element.

  2. 02

    Choose what type of change matters and how frequently it should be checked.

  3. 03

    Receive a contextual alert when the defined condition is satisfied.

04
What is included

Core capabilities

01

Element selection

Watches the exact DOM region that carries the information, not the entire page.

02

Semantic conditions

Understands text, number, visibility, availability, and state-change rules.

03

Flexible schedules

Checks at the cadence appropriate for the importance and rate of change.

04

Noise reduction

Ignores unrelated layout, advertisement, timestamp, or page-wide differences.

05

Change evidence

Preserves what the selected value was before and what it became.

06

Useful alerts

Delivers a concise notification by email, webhook, or the TabTwin workspace.

Why PageWatch is different

PageWatch tracks the intent of a selected page value, not every visual difference around it.

One shared technical foundation

Powered by the Browser Session Engine.

PageWatch consumes the same structured DOM events, timeline, context, snapshots, and safe execution primitives as the rest of TabTwin—without requiring another extension.
