I’m trying to monitor a calendar page: Calendar. The URL does not change after clicking through the site to reach the calendar.
I set up a macro that correctly goes through the necessary clicks and lands on the calendar. It works during the test, but when I run it on my local machine, it throws a macro error.
Issues:
The YouTube video on macros is not helpful—it doesn’t cover this use case.
The Visual Elements Browser is confusing and not explained clearly.
Clicking “Add New Web Page” or “Monitor New Web Page” opens a new browser window instead of staying in the current context.
Need:
A fix for the macro error when running locally.
A working example or tutorial (preferably a YouTube link) that shows how to monitor a dynamically loaded page like this one, even if the URL doesn’t change.
thanks for sharing the feedback. the youtube video shows how to configure and use macro for a cloud monitor. using the same for a local monitor needs one more step. see the following answer:
the key is to follow the video tutorial until the last step. before saving the monitor, change the device to a local device. the monitor will then run locally using the saved configuration.
i noticed that this page is a calendly page embedded as an iframe. this page will be easier to monitor if the embedded page is opened directly and monitor that page. one way to do that is to inspect the page and open the embeded frame’s link in a new tab. following screenshot shows how to view the frame and its url after opening the calendly page:
what error did the monitor encounter? make sure to monitor the calendly.com url directly instead of the page embedding it.
following article goes into detalis of the visual selector: What is Visual Selector? – Distill. let me know if you have questions about any aspect of the visual selector.
Wow, Something so easy I was making it so hard. This worked great i noticed that this page is a calendly page embedded as an iframe. this page will be easier to monitor if the embedded page is opened directly and monitor that page.
