Hi @shadowmoses
Your understanding is mostly correct:
In Distill, only the elements included in the selector are both monitored for changes and included in the notification output. At the moment, there’s no built-in way to include extra text in the notification email without making it part of the selector.
You’re right that one workaround is to include both Text A and Text B in your selector and then add conditions so that only changes in Text A trigger alerts. For example, you can set a condition on Added Text (or other text types) or depending on the content use relevant conditions along with regex filters to make sure the alert only fires when “Text A” changes, not “Text B.” This does work, but it can feel more complex than ideal. You can refer to the post below for more information:
