Hi @mgzl1166
Firstly, welcome to Distill’s forums.
I’ll recommend you to take a look at the forum thread: Checking availability for the US visa appointment - selection empty error
In most scenarios (associated with Visa appointments monitoring), you will have to login to the portal and perform a set of steps to reach the calendar which can be monitored. To address this challenge, you will need to use macros in Distill.
A typical process to setup a montior will look like the following:
- Login to Distill’s web app
- Go to Macros
- Create a new macro (starting from the login page) for tracking the Visa Appointments
- Record the various steps, till you get to the calendar you want to monitor for available slots
- Save the Macro
- Click on Add Monitor in the Watchlist and add a Webpage
- Give the start url corresponding to the login page
- Link the Macro to the monitor
- Run the macro by clicking the play button
- Once you reach the page where you want to monitor the calendar, select the dates you’d like to monitor & save the monitor
Furthermore, I’ll also recommend that you keep the frequency of checks to about once every 3hrs. This will ensure that the monitor will not run at a reasonable frequency.
I’ll be happy to connect with you over a zoom call, if you still face any challenges and need help.
Best Regards,
Surya
