Power your marketing strategy with perfectly branded videos to drive better ROI.

Some of the hardest tasks to automate on the web are monitoring tasks.

For example, if you're doing sales, you might want to monitor new postings on an online marketplace to be able to contact people who post something new on that marketplace and try to sell to them.

If you're in marketing, you might wanna monitor your competitors and you might wanna monitor your competitors pricing or products.

Or maybe you just use a website and you wish they had a notification system for when something new is posted but they don't.

In all those cases BrowseEye can help you and the example I'm gonna go with here is let's try to monitor new products that are posted on Product Hunt for specific keywords, like let's say automation.

Now you can see that I can search on product hunt and see these products but there's no way to basically subscribe to be notified whenever a new product is added to this list.

So the first thing I'm going to do is on my dashboard I'm going to click on monitor site changes.

And then I'm going to copy the link from here to Browse AI.

And I'm going to toggle this off because recording session cookies is only necessary when you need to be logged in to access that page which is not necessary here.

Now I can see the Browse AI robot here observing my actions and I can train this robot to do what I want it to do which is in this case it's I wanted to capture this list for me Which is the list of product names Product links descriptions And that's about it Then I'm gonna name these fields that I just clicked on.

So BrowseAX shows me a sample dataset that it just extracted.

I'm going to name this dataset and then I can have it handle pagination too, which in this case the default works.

I just wanted to scroll down to load more products and then I'm going to capture the list.

Okay great, now BrowseAI knows how to capture this data for me and if I want I can capture more data or I can just finish recording.

Once I do that, BrowseAI turns my action into repeatable steps that BrowseAI robots can simulate and mimic on BrowseAI cloud servers.

And I'm going to name this task, monitor product hunt products.

And then I can specify how often I want these products to be checked by BrowseAI and whether I want to be notified whenever there's a change in that list.

For example, when a new product is posted.

I'm gonna have it checked daily and notify me via email if there's a change.

It also shows me a sample data set that it just extracted and it looks good.

And I can see a screenshot of how BrowseAI sees this page.

I'm going to approve this And then my task is created.

Now, there are a few things I can do here.

I can either go to the monitor tab and set up new monitors using the same task but for a different keyword simply by changing this keyword here.

So if I want to be for example notified if there's a new calendar product post on Product Hunt I can just set it to this and I can have it extract the top 50 products for that keyword and set a unique name too.

And maybe for this 1, checking once every 3 days is good enough.

Now I have 2 monitors monitoring product launches for me.

Okay, now usually this is good enough for most use cases, but sometimes you want to integrate Browse.ai with other software that you use.

For example, you might want to call a webhook or run a Zapier automation when a monitoring check detects a change.

For example, when a new product is posted on Product Hunt for a keyword, then you can use our integration capabilities here.

Another thing you can do is that you can set up Google Sheet syncing.

And what that means is that if you set it up and select a Google Sheet here, it will sync every product that it extracts from Product Hunt with your Google Sheet and basically adds the product details to your Google Sheet.

And if you'd like you can add new columns to that Google Sheet and use that data however you like.

As you can see this is extremely easy to create a new monitoring automation on Browse.ai.
