Overview
Many Botify customers have found the following custom alerts helpful to monitor changes most impactful to their websites.
To create these alerts in your own project:
Create a URL Explorer report with the filters identified below, applied to the current crawl. These reports will show the difference between the compared periods.
Create a custom alert to detect a rise for the "increase" events or a drop for the "decrease" events.
