France Visa Appointment Monitor

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:

  1. Login to Distill’s web app
  2. Go to Macros
  3. Create a new macro (starting from the login page) for tracking the Visa Appointments
  4. Record the various steps, till you get to the calendar you want to monitor for available slots
  5. Save the Macro
  6. Click on Add Monitor in the Watchlist and add a Webpage
    image
  7. Give the start url corresponding to the login page
  8. Link the Macro to the monitor
  9. Run the macro by clicking the play button
  10. 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
