[feature] JS Action before diff

Open RHCPNG opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

Version and OS v0.39.5 on linux/docker

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I would like to have a button clicked before a change detection is done. Sometimes I have to perform an action on a website first, before I see the content that I want to monitor.

Describe the solution you'd like visualping.io has this feature where actions can be performed before a change detection is done. This can be a button click or typing text, etc. This would greatly enhance the possibilities of changedetection.io.

Describe the use-case and give concrete real-world examples See screenshot of visualping.io. For example: In a web shop you could choose a particular version (color, type, etc.) and then see the price that comes with the specific selection and then put a change monitor on the selection.

Additional context Screenshot visualping.io image

this would require the JS/chrome extension

Thanks for considering the idea. It's really fancy, but I'm aware this probably gives some challenges.

Do you mean using WebDriver or a separate chrome extension? Just curious, do you know how they do it? Because they don't use a chrome extension.
