Why a new product alert is a game-changer

In the fast-paced world of e-commerce and digital services, being the first to know is a significant competitive advantage. Manually refreshing a competitor's "New Arrivals" page is inefficient and prone to error. An automated new product alert system ensures you never miss a beat. It allows you to:

  • Stay ahead of the competition: Instantly know when a rival launches a new product line or feature.
  • Seize opportunities: For resellers and dropshippers, getting an alert for a new high-demand item can be the key to success.
  • Make informed decisions: Track market trends and product release cadences to better inform your own strategy.
  • Save valuable time: Automate the tedious task of website checking and focus on what truly matters - growing your business.

How to set up a new product alert with monity.ai

Creating a powerful, automated alert system is surprisingly simple with monity.ai. You can get your first monitor running in under a minute - no coding required.

Step 1: Enter the website URL

Start by copying and pasting the URL of the product category page, "New Arrivals" section, or any page you want to track into monity.ai. This could be a Shopify store, a SaaS pricing page, or a major retail website.

Step 2: Select your monitoring mode

You have several powerful options to detect new products:

  • Visual mode: monity.ai takes a screenshot and alerts you when any pixel changes - perfect for detecting new product images on a grid.
  • Text mode: Get notified when the text content changes, such as a new product name or description appearing on the page.
  • HTML mode: For technical users, this mode tracks changes in the underlying source code, which is a highly reliable way to spot new product listings being added.

Step 3: Receive instant notifications

Choose how you want to be notified. monity.ai integrates seamlessly with your workflow, sending alerts via email, Slack, Discord, or webhooks. Each notification includes a short, AI-generated summary of what changed, like "New product 'Trailblazer Hiking Boots' was added to the page."

Go beyond simple alerts with AI-powered monitoring

A standard new product alert is useful, but monity.ai takes it to the next level with artificial intelligence. This is where you can create truly smart and specific monitoring tasks.

Use natural language for smart alerts

Instead of just tracking a whole page, you can tell our AI exactly what you're looking for. Use a simple prompt like:

"Notify me when a new product is added to the 'Outdoor Gear' category"

Or get even more specific:

"Alert me if a new camera is listed for under $500"

Our AI understands your intent and will only send a notification when your precise conditions are met, eliminating false positives and noise.

Automate checks on complex websites

Some websites hide new products behind clicks or forms. With monity.ai, you can record browser actions - like clicking a "Sort by Newest" button or navigating through a menu - that will run automatically before every check. This ensures you're always monitoring the exact right content.

Stop wasting time with manual checks and gain a critical edge in your market. With monity.ai, you can set up a sophisticated new product alert system that works for you 24/7. Best of all, you can get started right now with our free forever plan.
