Watches: Get Told When Something Changes

A watch is a check Revnu runs on its own clock. Tell it what to watch for, and it writes a small check that runs every few minutes. When the check trips, Revnu wakes up, does what you agreed, and tells you. A quiet watch messages no one.

Workflows run on a schedule (recurring work). Watches run when something happens.

Set one up

Ask in chat, in your own words:

Watch Acme's pricing page and tell me the day they change their prices.

Let me know if conversions stop coming in from the website.

Keep an eye on our ad spend. If a campaign stops spending, find out why.

Revnu writes the check, runs it once to make sure it works, and replies with what it's watching and how often. You don't install or configure anything.

Revnu also sets up watches on its own when a quiet failure would cost you, such as after it connects your website tracking or launches an ad campaign.

What Revnu can watch

• Any public web page. A competitor's pricing page, changelog, careers page or blog. Revnu remembers what the page said last time and trips when it changes. It can't read pages behind a login.

• Your website tracking. Whether visits and conversions are still arriving from the Revnu tag and your server events.

• Your results. Sends, replies, booked calls, ad spend and visits.

• An ad campaign. Its spend, clicks and conversions.

• Outbound email. Sends, replies and your sending inboxes.

• Google Search. Clicks and impressions from Search Console.

• Your leads. Read fresh each time, so new leads are watched too.

Revnu judges "something changed" against your account's own normal, such as your usual weekday pattern, rather than a fixed number of hours. That keeps false alarms down.

When a watch trips

Revnu wakes up and does what you agreed when you set it up. For a competitor's price rise, that might be drafting an alternatives page and a switching campaign (competitor price increase play). For broken tracking, it finds the cause and tells you what to fix.

A watch trips once. It won't fire again until things are back to normal.

What Revnu does next follows your approval settings, the same as any other work. Spending money always waits for your yes.

See, change or stop your watches

• "What are you watching?" lists them.

• "Check Acme's page once a day instead" changes how often.

• "Stop watching Acme's pricing page" removes it.

A watch runs between every 5 minutes and once a week. Revnu picks a sensible interval, such as daily for a page that changes rarely.
