Monitor Page Changes via RSS Feeds

Last updated: 8 May, 20262 min read

PageCrawl can generate RSS feeds for your monitored pages, allowing you to follow detected changes from any RSS reader or automation tool.

Looking to monitor an existing RSS, Atom, or sitemap feed instead? See Feed Tracking Mode, which watches a feed URL for new items and notifies you about specific additions, removals, and changes.

How RSS Feeds Work

Each RSS feed has a unique URL with an access code. When a monitored page detects a change, the feed is updated with the new entry. Feeds follow the Atom format and can be consumed by any standard RSS reader.

You can create feeds scoped to:

  • All pages in workspace - Get a combined feed of all changes across the workspace
  • By tags - Include only pages with specific tags
  • By folders - Include only pages in specific folders
  • By website/domain - Include only pages from a specific domain
  • Specific monitors - Track changes on individually selected monitors

Setting Up an RSS Feed

  1. Go to Settings > RSS Feeds
  2. Click Create Feed
  3. Choose a scope (all pages, by tags, by folders, by website/domain, or specific monitors)
  4. Copy the generated feed URL

The feed URL contains a unique access code, so anyone with the link can view the feed without logging in. Keep feed URLs private if the monitored content is sensitive.

Using Your Feed

Add the feed URL to any RSS-compatible tool:

Tool Type Examples
RSS readers Feedly, Inoreader, NewsBlur
Automation platforms n8n, Zapier, Make
Dashboards Custom widgets, internal portals
Browser extensions RSS reader extensions for Chrome or Firefox
