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.
