@jacobmens Welcome! :blush:
Yes, Distill can be used to monitor portals like AVITS, depending on how the site works.

Here’s how it generally applies:

  • If the AVITS portal shows the information publicly (no login required and no interactions like clicking buttons or navigating steps), you can monitor it directly by selecting the relevant section on the page.

  • If the portal requires login or user interaction (for example, signing in, navigating through pages, opening calendars, or submitting forms), then you’ll need to use Macros, which are available on paid plans (Starter and above). Macros allow Distill to automatically replay those steps before checking for changes.

You may find this blog helpful as a reference—it walks through a similar setup for monitoring visa portals using Macros:
