Booking & Reservation Availability Monitoring (v1)
Every 5 Minutes On The Booking Page You Can't Keep Refreshing
ChangeTower checks every listing, calendar and availability page you name as often as every 5 minutes, and emails you the moment a slot opens.
✓ No credit card · First monitor live in 5 minutes
Every page in this folder is under a monitor: checked on your schedule, as often as every 5 minutes, with a dated snapshot stored every time and an email when your criteria are met. Booking still happens on the site itself.
The screenshot stored on that check: the page as a visitor saw it, kept with its HTML and never edited.
Detection is content-level: ChangeTower reads the words and the HTML. The screenshot is a dated record of the page, not compared against anything.
One folder for every page a booking depends on: viewing calendars, waiting lists, eligibility rules, rents, and fees. Open a row for what changed, and the page as it looked that day.
Tell it what matters. It ignores the rest.
A listing page changes all day without a single viewing appearing. Write your criteria in plain language, and only the changes that match them reach you.
Criteria in your own words.
No rules engine, no hidden thresholds. Say what deserves interrupting your morning, and the monitor holds to that.
One rule, written once. The photo update is archived; both viewing releases reach you the moment they are detected.
Login, cookie banner, property picker? Still watched.
Booking calendars are rarely on an open page. Record the steps to reach yours once, and ChangeTower replays them before every check, so it reads the page as you would see it.
Record the steps once. They run before every check.
Sign in, dismiss the banner, choose the property, open the week. You record it once and the monitor repeats it.
The same four steps you would do yourself, run for you every 5 minutes.
From the availability alert to the booking page, slots still there.

Every monitored page captured on schedule. 1 change since yesterday, archived.
A cancellation opened for pitch 14, 21 to 24 Aug, where the whole month had been fully booked.
Summary: The viewing calendar went from fully booked to 6 slots across Thu 16 and Fri 17 Jul. Matched your rule: a viewing for any 2 bedroom under $1,900 a month.
Sent the moment the 08:10 check found it. Booking happens on Halloway & Finch's own site: ChangeTower tells you, it does not book, hold or reserve anything.
The viewing calendar went from fully booked to 6 slots across Thu 16 and Fri 17 Jul. Your four recorded steps reached the signed-in view, and only the viewing slot table was read.
Viewing slots are released as our lettings team confirms access with the current tenant. Select a time below to request a viewing.
| Date | Time | Places |
|---|---|---|
| Thu 16 Jul | 10:00, 10:30, 11:00 | 3 free |
| Thu 16 Jul | 16:20 | 1 free |
| Fri 17 Jul | 09:15, 09:45 | 2 free |
Requesting a slot does not reserve it. Slots are confirmed by the lettings team and may be withdrawn if the property is let beforehand.
The screenshot stored on that check: the page as it was reached, kept with its HTML.
Every check in between has a snapshot too, changed or not. All three releases in the last two weeks landed between 07:58 and 08:10: this agency posts viewings before the office opens.
Turn the cadence up while you search, and back down once you have signed. Every setting is per monitor.
Found the booking page at midnight? Monitor it from there.
Nobody finds these pages in a dashboard. They turn up three links deep late in the evening, and the extension turns that page into a monitor.
From open tab to monitored page, in one click.
Tables released 30 days ahead at 09:00 are gone by 09:02. Click the icon and the page is monitored.
No tables are currently available. The dining room releases tables 30 days in advance at 09:00, and cancelled tables return to this page automatically.
A table is not held until the booking is confirmed. We do not keep a waiting list.
Tables for 13 August will be released on 14 July at 09:00.
Found at midnight, monitored before the tab closes. The page joins your other monitors, archived from its next check.
Every page a booking depends on.
A viewing calendar turns over in minutes. A fee schedule moves twice a year. Check frequency is set per page, as often as every 5 minutes.
Rental Viewings & New Listings
Agency calendars and property pages, watched for the moment a viewing opens or a listing appears in your area and price range.
every 5 minCancellations & Returned Places
The pitch, table or slot somebody gave back an hour ago. Returns surface without warning and rarely last, so you watch continuously.
every 5 minCampsites, Permits & Park Passes
Pitch calendars, trail permits and vehicle passes, where a season sells out in the first minute, then trickles back one cancellation at a time.
every 5 minClinic & Specialist Appointments
Private clinic calendars and next-available dates, watched for an earlier appointment or a cancellation.
every 5 min – hourlyRestaurant Tables & Timed Releases
Dining rooms that open a date 30 days ahead at a fixed hour, and the tables that come back when somebody cancels.
every 5 minClasses, Courts & Sessions
Course places, court bookings and studio sessions that open weekly and are taken within the hour.
every 5 min – hourlyWaiting Lists & Queue Positions
Register waiting times, published queue positions and next-available dates, so you learn the wait halved without checking yourself.
dailyEligibility, References & Deposits
Referencing checklists, income multiples, guarantor rules and site conditions, watched for a requirement that appears, changes or disappears.
dailyRents, Fees & Price Changes
Advertised rents, deposit terms and fee schedules, watched for a reduction worth acting on or a rise you would rather catch early.
dailyWhat people actually use it for.
Catch a cancellation while it is open
Somebody gives a place back and it lands on the calendar with no announcement. With checks as often as every 5 minutes, the email reaches you within minutes, not the next time you happen to look.
Watch every agency, park and clinic at once
One monitor per booking page, as many pages as you want: 6 agencies, 3 campsites, or the same property across its listing and its calendar, all reporting into one place so you take whatever opens first.
Know the rent or the rules moved before you commit
Advertised rents drop, referencing requirements tighten, deposit terms change, none of it announced. Those pages sit under the same watch as the calendar, and the summary tells you what moved.
Learn when things are actually released
Every check stores a dated snapshot, changed or not, so the release pattern shows: what hour slots appear, how long they last, how often they come. Guesswork turns into something you can read.
Search on behalf of other people
Relocation consultants, letting agents and care coordinators run the same search many times over. Group each person's pages into their own folder, and add listing and calendar URLs in one go with bulk setup.
Watch the market, not just your shortlist
New listings, price reductions and let-agreed flags across the portals you compete on, captured the day they move. Every check leaves a dated snapshot, so what a property was advertised at, and when, is on record if anyone disputes it.
Watching pages for other people? Bulk setup adds a list of URLs in one pass.

AI Monitoring
Alert criteria in your own words: "alert me if a viewing opens for any 2 bedroom under $1,900 a month." Every change is summarized in plain language, and only matches reach you.
Explore →Manual User Actions
Most booking calendars sit behind a cookie banner, a sign-in and a property picker. Record those steps once and ChangeTower replays them before every check, so it reads the page as you would see it.
Explore →Password-Protected Pages
If the calendar only exists once you are signed in, the monitor signs in too. Credentials are stored securely and used only to reach that page.
Explore →Selective Monitoring
Point the monitor at the availability table, nothing else. Rotating photos, "14 people are viewing this" counters and a footer that changes every deploy stop counting as changes: most of the noise on a listing page.
Explore →Scheduled Checks
Set frequency per page: as often as every 5 minutes for the calendar you are waiting on, weekly for the fee schedule. Turn it up while you search, back down once you are booked.
Explore →Email Notifications
The alert lands in your inbox with the summary attached, so a release that happened while you were on the train is waiting on your phone. Nothing to install, nothing else to watch.

How does booking availability monitoring work?
You point ChangeTower at the listing or booking page, record the steps to reach the calendar if it sits behind a login or a picker, and it checks as often as every 5 minutes. When a slot, viewing or table opens you get an email. You do the booking.
Does ChangeTower book the viewing or the table for me?
No. ChangeTower watches the page and tells you what changed. It does not book, hold, reserve or queue, and it will not fill in a form for you. What changes is when you find out: instead of finding a release the next morning, the email reaches you within minutes of the check that found it. The booking is yours to make on the site itself.
How quickly will I hear about something opening up?
The alert goes out on the check that finds the change, so the answer is the cadence you set: checks run as often as every 5 minutes, and a viewing that appears at 08:07 reaches your inbox around 08:11. Whether the slot is still there when you open it depends on the page, not on us.
The booking page is behind a login. Can you still watch it?
Usually, yes. Record the sign-in as one of the steps that run before each check, and the monitor reaches the same signed-in view you would. Credentials are stored securely and used only to reach that page. The exception is a site that blocks automated access outright: if the page will not load, it cannot be watched, and you see that straight away, not after a month of silence.
The calendar only appears after a banner and a property picker. Can you still watch it?
Sign in, dismiss the banner, choose the property, open the week. You record it once and the monitor repeats it.
Can I watch just the availability table and ignore the rest?
Yes. Selective monitoring watches one part of the page: the viewing slot table, or the pitch calendar. Rotating photo carousels, "14 people are viewing this" counters and a footer that changes on every deploy stop counting as changes.
Will I get an alert every time the page twitches?
No. That is the point of writing criteria. Say what deserves interrupting your morning, such as "alert me if a viewing opens for any 2 bedroom under $1,900 a month", and the AI reads every change against that rule. New photos or a reworded description are classified and archived without an alert. The record stays complete, your inbox stays quiet.
How many agencies, campsites or clinics can I watch at once?
Yes. One monitor covers one page, and you can watch as many pages as your plan allows: 6 agencies, 3 campsites, or the same property across its listing and its calendar. All of them report into one place, so you take whichever opening comes first instead of committing to a single queue.
Does it work differently if I run these searches for other people?
The monitoring is identical; the organising changes. Folders keep each person's pages separate, so a relocation consultant running 6 searches is not reading one long undifferentiated list, and bulk setup adds listing and calendar URLs in a single pass instead of one at a time.
Dated snapshots matter more here than for an individual: when somebody asks what a property was advertised at 3 weeks ago, or whether a requirement was on the page when the application went in, the record is there and was never edited.
What is a snapshot, and how long is it kept?
A dated capture of the page: what it rendered and the HTML behind it, stored every time a scheduled check runs, changed or not. Each one is timestamped and stays retrievable, so you can see what a listing advertised the day you applied, or what hour an agency tends to release its viewings.
Where do availability alerts get sent?
Email, Slack or Microsoft Teams. Email is what most people use here, since it reaches a phone the moment a cancellation lands.
Can it tell me when the rent, terms or rules change, not just availability?
Yes. Advertised rents, referencing requirements and deposit terms sit under the same watch as the calendar, so a change reaches you before you commit to anything.
Can it monitor a waitlist or a sold-out page for cancellations?
Yes. A sold-out page that gains a date, or a waitlist that opens, is a change like any other, and the check that finds it is the one that emails you.
