Start with a visible list
Choose New items on a news, jobs or publications page. Automatic list detection helps with whole-page selection; narrow the section if it includes unrelated links.
PAGEFLUXER FOR RESEARCH & CONTENT DISCOVERY
Find the new page without checking the same list again.
Follow a news index, careers page or publications list. Get an alert when a new matching linked item appears, then decide which detail pages deserve their own monitor.

MAKE THE WATCH LIST YOURS
Watch the source that introduces new pages.
A newly published URL is useful only if your monitor can discover it. Choose an index that links to the entries you care about. PageFluxer compares the linked items it captures with its known list, helping distinguish a new item from a reorder or an edit to a neighbouring headline.
Match the entries you need
Add a literal, case-insensitive phrase that appears in the item title or URL. Leave it blank to hear about every newly detected item in the selection.
Choose a structured source when available
An RSS, Atom or sitemap watch can follow entries without selecting a page element. Source watches require Pro or Business; ordinary page-list monitors use normal plan allowances.
FROM PAGE TO USEFUL ALERT
Here’s how to set it up.
Add your URL, choose what matters, and confirm the cloud preview. Customize notification delivery on the monitor’s details page after saving.
Choose the index or source
For a visible list, use this starter with the index URL. If you already have a feed or sitemap URL, use the source-watch workflow linked below instead.
Confirm the cloud’s list
The starter selects New items and six-hour checks. Load the page, review the detected entries, and narrow the selection only if the list contains unrelated links.
Add a matching phrase if useful
Use wording that appears in the listed title or URL. This rule does not read every linked article or understand topics semantically. Keep the filter blank for all new items.
Save a baseline and watch forward
Existing items establish the known list and do not trigger a flood of initial alerts. Later checks can find new matching entries. Set delivery on monitor details after saving.
THE CONTEXT BEHIND THE ALERT
First seen is different from first published.
The alert records when PageFluxer first detected a matching entry. That is not proof of its publication time. A rolling index may remove older links, and pagination or lazy loading can limit what a capture sees. Confirm the preview includes the list you mean to watch, and use supported browser loading controls when needed.

Keep setup focused on the page and the change you need. Advanced loading, notification schedules and optional AI remain available when they help.
Step-by-step documentation →Common questions
Does this crawl every page on a domain?
No. PageFluxer checks the index, feed or sitemap you select, within source and capture limits. It cannot discover an unlinked URL that never appears in that source. Use multiple relevant sources when one list is incomplete.
Will edits to an existing page count as a new page?
A list monitor follows item/link identities. Reordering an existing item does not create a new one. For changes inside an existing article, job or report, monitor that URL separately with a text or PDF rule.
Can I filter by a phrase found only inside an article?
A new-item filter uses the entry data available from the selected source; a page-list rule matches the link title and URL. It does not open every article. Monitor the individual page for a phrase that appears only in its body.
Should I use a sitemap or a visible page list?
Use the source that reliably includes the entries you need. A page list often has useful titles; a sitemap usually provides URLs without descriptive titles and may cover many unrelated pages. The RSS and sitemap guide explains these trade-offs.
