I am part of a team hired by a company to perform specific tasks. The tasks get posted to a page, access to the page is via email login and two factor authentication. We get paid when we complete the tasks.
The issue is that I am spending more time checking the page throughout the day than doing the tasks.
I set up an alert to monitor when I had the webpage opened. However, when I came back I noticed my browser was opening a new tab and closing it. But after a while the company site logged me out.
What is the best way to set up distill to monitor the page. Would the desktop be a better option?
@flakeyjake You are actually using the correct approach already by using Local Monitoring in this situation. Since the website requires email login and two-factor authentication, Cloud Monitoring would not work reliably here.
What seems to be happening is that the website eventually expires your login session, which is why Distill later gets logged out while checking the page.
You can definitely try the Desktop App as an alternative. In some cases, the Desktop App can behave a bit more reliably for long-running local monitoring sessions compared to the browser extension.However, if the website itself forcefully expires sessions after some time, then the Desktop App may eventually face the same limitation as well.
Please do let us know how it goes after trying the Desktop App. In some cases it does work better depending on how the website manages sessions.
