Monitoring with Manual User Actions
Some pages only show what matters after you click.
Search a registry, sort a table, dismiss a banner, open a tab — record those steps once as manual user actions. ChangeTower replays them before every check and monitors the page the way you would actually use it.
A monitor captures the page it lands on, not the page you use.
Search results, sorted tables, filtered lists, and anything under a banner or modal live one interaction away from the URL. Point an ordinary monitor at that URL and it watches the default view forever — while the row you care about sits three pages deep.
Four weeks of checks on page 1, unsorted, under a cookie banner. The new Class I report was never in frame.
Same URL, same schedule. ChangeTower dismisses, searches, and sorts first — so the fourth check caught it.
Five clicks and a search term stand between you and the real page.
Manual user actions record clicks, typed text, selections, and scrolls. Anything you can do to a page in a browser, ChangeTower can repeat before it captures.
Search fields & registries
Type a keyword, hit search, and monitor the result set instead of the empty search form. Ideal for recall databases, court dockets, and public registers.
Sortable & filterable tables
Sort by date, filter to a category, set rows per page — then watch the exact slice of the table your team reads.
Cookie banners, modals & popups
Dismiss the consent bar, close the promo modal, decline the newsletter overlay. The capture shows the page, not the interruption in front of it.
Tabs, accordions & drawers
Open the panel that holds the detail — a fee schedule, a spec sheet, a terms tab — so collapsed content is part of every check.
Pagination & load more
Click through to the page that matters, or expand a lazy list until the full set is on screen before the snapshot is taken.
Region, currency & language switchers
Select the market you sell into and monitor the version of the page your customers there actually see.
Once the page is in view, everything else applies.
Actions are the first step of the check. Selection, scheduling, diffs, and AI change summaries work on the interacted page exactly as they do on a static one.
Selective monitoring
After the actions run, narrow the monitor to the results table alone — and ignore the nav, the ads, and the row counter that changes on every load.
