PageCrawl can monitor publicly shared Google Sheets, Google Docs, and other Google Drive files for text changes. When content is added, edited, or removed, you receive a notification with a diff showing exactly what changed.
Requirements
The Google file must be accessible via a shareable link. In Google Drive, set the sharing to "Anyone with the link can view" to allow PageCrawl to access the content.
Setup
- Click Track New Page
- Paste the shareable link to your Google Sheet, Doc, or Drive file
- PageCrawl detects the file type and shows the appropriate configuration
- Choose your check frequency and notification preferences
- Save
Supported File Types
| File Type | What Is Tracked |
|---|---|
| Google Sheets | Cell text content across all sheets |
| Google Docs | Full document text |
| Google Drive files | Text content (for supported formats like PDF, DOCX) |
