How to Set Up Advanced Settings to fix SELECTION_EMPTY error

[tenhiro]

Hello, I am Japanese. Please forgive my poor English.
I installed Distill on my Windows PC and upgraded to the Starter plan to monitor a certain product on Amazon. I expected it to notify me on my iPhone when the item was restocked. However, when I checked my computer again a day later, it showed “SELECTION_EMPTY,” and the notification was not successfully sent to my iPhone.

Could you please tell me what settings and steps I need to follow to make such notifications work properly on Amazon? I’m really struggling with this, so I’d greatly appreciate your help.

Thank you very much.

@tenhiro check the following thread out that discusses the same question.

Notification when "This item is sold out" disappears (item restocked)

@daku_daku the simple way to make the monitor work is to include one more element in the selection that is present in both cases. an element like the product title is a good candidate because it won’t change (won’t trigger alert) and should always be present on the page (no selection_empty error). what do you think?

the key is to include one more element in the selection. let me know if you have any questions or need any help. thanks!

Thank you for getting back to me! I tried it, but it didn’t work. I think the problem might be that the button I selected at the beginning isn’t the right one. So, could you please tell me which button (or area) on an Amazon product page that’s waiting for restock should be selected to make the notifications work properly? I’d really appreciate your help.

feel free to share the url and a screenshot of the element you would like to monitor for changes. i will then show how to configure a monitor.

Here’s the URL →Amazon.co.jp

When the item is out of stock, the page looks like this.
Could you please tell me which part of this page I should monitor to make the notification work correctly? Thank you!
