Automate your workflow: integrate website change alerts with Trello and Asana

Information overload is a real productivity killer for modern teams. When you are tracking competitors, monitoring regulatory updates, or keeping an eye on product availability, receiving a flood of email notifications often leads to alert fatigue. Important changes get buried, and the window of opportunity to react closes.

To build a truly efficient workflow, you need to move data from your inbox to where the work actually happens. By integrating website change alerts with project management tools like Trello and Asana, you can turn passive monitoring into active tasks.

Here is how you can leverage monity.ai to bridge the gap between website tracking and project execution.

Why move alerts to project management tools?

While email or Slack notifications are great for immediate awareness, they are terrible for accountability. An email can be read and forgotten. A Slack message gets scrolled away.

When you pipe data from monity.ai directly into Trello or Asana, you gain several advantages:

• Accountability: Every detected change becomes a card or task that must be assigned, completed, or archived.
• Context: With the AI-powered summaries from monity.ai, the task description already contains the specific details of what changed (e.g., "Price increased by 15%"), saving your team from manual investigation.
• History: You build an automatic archive of market changes directly within your project boards.

Using webhooks to bridge the gap

The most robust way to connect monity.ai with Trello or Asana is through webhooks. A webhook is essentially a way for one app to send real-time data to another whenever an event occurs.

monity.ai supports webhook notifications, which allows it to send a JSON payload containing the URL, the time of the check, and most importantly, the AI-generated summary of the change.

The integration logic

Since Trello and Asana do not natively "catch" raw webhooks without some configuration, you typically use an automation bridge like Zapier, Make (formerly Integromat), or a custom cloud function. The flow looks like this:

1. Trigger: monity.ai detects a change (based on visual, text, or AI prompt criteria).
2. Transport: monity.ai sends a webhook payload to your automation platform.
3. Action: The automation platform formats the data and creates a new card in Trello or a task in Asana.

Step-by-step implementation strategy

Here is a practical approach to setting up this workflow using a standard automation tool.

1. Configure your monitor in monity.ai

Before connecting the pipes, you need a reliable source of data. Sign up at app.monity.ai - you can start with the free tier which is available forever.

Create a new task. If you want specific, actionable data, use the AI prompt feature. For example, instead of just monitoring a page for any change, use a prompt like: "Alert me if the pricing table changes or if a new feature is listed." This ensures that only meaningful updates trigger your workflow.

2. Set up the webhook listener

In your automation tool (like Zapier or Make), create a generic "Webhook" trigger. Copy the URL provided by the tool.

Go back to your monity.ai task settings. In the notifications section, select Webhook and paste the URL you just generated. Now, whenever monity.ai detects a change, it will push data to that URL.

3. Map the data to Trello or Asana

Once your automation tool receives the test data from monity.ai, you can map the fields to your project management tool.

• Task Title: Map this to the monity.ai task name combined with the date.
• Description: This is where the magic happens. Map the AI summary field here. Your Trello card will read: "Change detected: New blog post published regarding API updates."
• Attachments: You can often include the link to the screenshot or the direct URL that was monitored.

Advanced workflow ideas

Once you have the basic integration running, you can get creative with how you route these alerts.

Competitor price tracking

Create a dedicated list in Trello called "Pricing Updates." Configure monity.ai to monitor your top three competitors. When a price change is detected, the AI summary populates a card. Your sales team can immediately see if a competitor is undercutting you and adjust their pitch accordingly.

Compliance and legal monitoring

For legal teams using Asana, set up a monitor for regulatory body websites. If a new compliance PDF is uploaded or a policy page text is modified, a task is created in the "Compliance Review" project, assigned automatically to a legal counsel.

Technical uptime and defacement checks

While specialized uptime tools exist, monity.ai adds a layer of visual verification. If your homepage renders incorrectly (broken CSS or missing images), the visual change monitor triggers. This can create a "High Priority" bug ticket in your engineering board.
