Webhook alert text for changes only

Hi! Is it possible to set up the webhook alert text to just be the change only (i.e. previous text → new text) like the part that is highlighted in green when view the change history? Currently, the webhook sends the entire text of the selection being monitored.

Hello @chromebeagle - it is not possible to send only the changes via webhook.

Can you share your use case of what you are trying to achieve? Are you looking for changes in HTML or plain text content? Thanks!

Hi! Yes, there’s a list I created in my account on a website where I want to monitor in-stock availability and pricing changes. I can’t create alerts on each item page itself because the website actually removes/redirects that page when the item is not in stock, so the only way is to monitor via the list of skus.

Currently the webhook is sending me the entire text of the list, but I still have to go back to Distill to check and see what the difference is because I don’t receive the text of the change only, just the current appearance.

I am just looking for changes in the plain text content, not the HTML. Thanks!

This is what was received in Slack (from the webhook), redacted item info for privacy:
