4 more content monitoring hacks in Semonto

1. Get notified when an item is back in stock

Want to get your hands on the newest iPhone as soon as it is released? Are you waiting for a book or concert tickets to come out? Semonto can watch the sales page for you and notify you when the availability switches from ‘coming soon’ to ‘available’.

2. Scan for forbidden content

Sometimes you want to scan for words that should not be on a website. So instead of scanning for required content, you are scanning for forbidden content. For example, you can ask Semonto to notify you when your webshop shows the phrase ‘out of stock’.

3. Make sure that you are not getting hacked

Sometimes hackers replace the content on your web page with their own content. Is your industry vulnerable to such attacks? Then you can use a content check to get notified when your company name or a certain phrase no longer appears on your home page.

4. Watch for job opportunities

Is there a company that you would love to work for? Why not monitor their job page? For example, you can create an alert that tells you when your function title is added to the list of requested profiles.
