If you're looking to track pages on websites that require login authentication, the answer is yes – it is possible. Please note that this feature is only available on paid plans.

How It Works

Monitoring password-protected pages is a two-step process:

1. Configure authentication - Set up your login credentials once
2. Select when monitoring - Choose the configuration when adding a page to monitor

Step 1: Configure Authentication

Before you can monitor password-protected pages, you need to set up an authentication configuration:

1. Go to Authentication Settings
2. Click "Add Authentication Configuration"
3. Fill in the required details:
   • Name - A friendly name to identify this configuration (e.g., "My Company Portal")
   • Login URL - The URL of the login page
   • Username/Email - Your login credentials
   • Password - Your password
   • Form fields - CSS selectors for the username field, password field, and submit button
4. Save the configuration

You can create multiple authentication configurations for different websites.

Step 2: Add a Page to Monitor

Once your authentication is configured:

1. Go to add a new page to monitor
2. Enter the URL of the password-protected page you want to track
3. If an authentication configuration exists for that website's domain, a "Login Authentication" option will appear
4. Select the appropriate authentication configuration from the dropdown
5. Complete the rest of the setup as usual

The system automatically detects and shows only authentication configurations that match the domain of the URL you're monitoring. For example, if you're monitoring https://app.example.com/dashboard, it will show authentication configs set up for example.com.

Can You Also Track Files Behind Login Authentication?

If you want to track files such as PDFs, Excel spreadsheets, CSVs, or Word documents, you're in luck. These types of files can also be tracked, even if they are behind login authentication. Simply provide the link to the file and select the appropriate authentication configuration.

HTTP Basic Authentication

In case the website is using "HTTP Basic Authentication" (the browser popup that asks for credentials), you can enter the credentials under "Advanced Settings" when setting up your monitored page. This is different from form-based login authentication.
