Kadoa allows you to monitor websites for data changes and receive notifications when updates occur.

  • When creating or editing workflow, click “Repeat” to set up regular updates.
  • Choose an update frequency.
  • Enterprise customers can request real-time monitoring.

To set up notifications:

  • click “Get notified when data changes”.
  • In the monitoring settings, select the fields you want to track for changes.
  • Select about what type of changes you want to be notified. We support 3 types of changes:
    • All changes: Receive notifications for all changes (additions, modifications, and removals).
    • Only added data: Receive notifications only for new data. An object is considered new when it has less than 50% field matches with any existing object.
    • Only removed data: Receive notifications only for removed data.
  • Optional: You can add conditions to the monitoring. For example, you can only receive notifications if the data has changed in a specific field and contains a specific value.
  • Choose your preferred notification channel. Self-service users can receive email notifications. Enterprise customers have access to additional integration options.

​
How Changes Are Detected

The system matches objects between old and new data in this order:

  1. Exact Matches: Objects that are exactly the same
  2. Partial Matches: Objects sharing more than 50% of their fields are considered the same object with changes
  3. New/Removed: Remaining objects are considered either new or removed
