Notifications

Site Spy can notify you through multiple channels when changes are detected.

Browser notifications

Desktop push notifications appear even when the extension popup is closed.

1. Open the extension popup and go to Settings
2. Expand the Browser Notifications section
3. Enable notifications using the toggle
4. Click Send Test Notification to verify they work

The extension icon also shows a badge count of unviewed changes.

Troubleshooting

If test notifications don't appear:

• Chrome: Check chrome://settings/content/notifications — make sure the browser is allowed to send notifications
• Firefox: Check about:preferences#privacy under Permissions > Notifications
• macOS: Go to System Settings > Notifications and ensure your browser is allowed
• Windows: Go to Settings > System > Notifications and check your browser

Safari does not support browser notifications. The badge count on the extension icon still works.

Email notifications

Email notifications are available on the Starter plan and above.

1. Go to the web dashboard settings
2. In the Notifications tab, click Enable Notifications
3. A verification email is sent to your account email
4. Click the verification link in the email
5. Once verified, you'll receive emails when watched pages change

You can send a test email to confirm delivery after verification.

Telegram notifications

Connect a Telegram bot to receive change alerts in Telegram.

1. Go to the web dashboard settings
2. In the Notifications tab, find the Telegram section
3. Click Connect Telegram
4. Click Open in Telegram to start the bot
5. Tap Start in the Telegram chat

Once connected, you can send a test message and disconnect at any time.
