There are two rates being monitored lets say A and B. The difference between the two is C. Generally A and B changes but C remains same. I want to be notified everytime the C changes

@yashankdamani Just to confirm that I understood your requirement correctly.

Are you trying to monitor a section where **A, B, and C are all shown on the page** , and although **A and B change frequently** , you only want to **receive an alert when the value of C changes** , even if A or B change?

If that is the case, Distill currently does **not support setting a condition on a specific element’s value while ignoring changes in other elements within the same monitored area**. Since **A, B, and C are all numeric values and change independently** , the monitor would normally trigger whenever **any of the monitored text changes**.

One possible approach could be Monitor **only the element that contains C** , instead of the whole section with A and B.

To guide you properly, could you please share:

- The **URL of the page** , or

- A **screenshot showing A, B, and C on the page**
