Scheduling & change monitoring

Scheduling lets DatIQ re-check a page on a recurring cadence and alert you when it changes — perfect

Scheduling lets DatIQ re-check a page on a recurring cadence and alert you when it changes — perfect for watching a competitor's pricing, a careers page, or any page that matters.

Two ways to create a schedule:

  • From Home — pick a preset cadence (e.g. Daily) in the composer's Schedule menu, then Extract. This arms a recurring job for that URL (or batch).
  • From the Schedules screen — click New schedule for the full editor.

In the schedule editor you set:

  • The URL to watch and the intent (what to extract each time).
  • A cadence — presets (Every 6 hours, Twice daily, Daily, Every weekday, Weekly, Monthly) or a custom builder (frequency · day · time).
  • An optional "run until" end date.
  • An optional alert email to notify when the page changes.
  • A name so you can recognise it later.

On the Schedules list, each schedule shows its cadence, when it last ran, and when it runs next. For each one you can:

  • Run now — check the page immediately and see whether it changed.
  • Edit, Pause / Resume, or Delete.
  • Expand it to see all its settings.

When an automated run detects a change, DatIQ records it and — if you set an alert email — sends you a notification.
