I am getting too many notification on the app but on the actual page there nothing changes. how to fix this?
@moazzam7871 this usually happens when the monitor is either detecting small changes on the page, even though nothing important changed visually or there is a part of page that is not rendered completely.
here’s what you can try:
-
check change history first to see what distill is actually detecting. many false alerts come from ads, timestamps, counters, hidden elements, or auto-refreshing sections. once you find the noisy part, exclude it from the monitor.
-
add a wait time if the page loads slowly or uses javascript. distill may be checking the page before it fully loads, which can make partial loading look like a real change. try setting wait for duration to 5–10 seconds, or longer for slow pages.
-
monitor only the section you actually care about. if the whole page is selected, unrelated updates can trigger notifications. use the visual selector to select only the exact text, price, status, or content area you want to track.
-
add alert conditions so you only get notified for meaningful changes. for example, use a rule like “contains in stock,” “price is below x,” or another condition that matches the change you actually want.
-
test the monitor after updating it. run check now twice and see if it still alerts when nothing useful changed. if it does, tighten the selected area or add stricter conditions.
