# Email Notifications for Website Change Detection Source: PageCrawl.io Help Center URL: https://pagecrawl.io/help/notifications/article/email-notifications --- Email is the default notification channel in PageCrawl. It is enabled on all plans and requires no additional setup. As soon as you add a page to monitor, you will receive email notifications whenever changes are detected. ### What's Included in Email Notifications Every change notification email includes: - **AI summary** - A plain-language explanation of what changed on the page - **Priority score** - An importance score from 0 to 100 so you can quickly assess relevance - **Text diff with highlighting** - Changed content is highlighted so you can see exactly what was added, removed, or modified - **Keyword matches** - If you have keyword rules configured, matching keywords are highlighted in the notification ### Email Attachments Email notifications can include several attachments to give you a complete picture of the change: - **Screenshot** - A full-page screenshot of the page at the time of the change (enabled by default) - **Visual diff screenshot** - A side-by-side or overlay comparison showing visual differences - **Text diff image** - A rendered image of the text diff for easy sharing - **Text file** - A plain text file containing the diff content You can configure which attachments are included at **Settings > Workspace > Notifications**. Email is enabled as a notification channel by default in the page editor.

You have two options: - **Off** - Email notifications are disabled - **Send instant notification for every change** - You receive an email as soon as a change is detected #### Scheduled Summary Reports If you prefer to receive changes in batches (daily, weekly, or monthly digests), use the **Scheduled Summary Reports** feature. You can find it under the **Digests** tab in the same **Settings > Workspace > Alerts & Reports** area. Scheduled summary reports let you bundle changes across multiple monitors into a single consolidated email delivered on the schedule you choose. ### Diff Display Options You can customize how text differences are displayed in your email notifications: - **Highlight mode** - Choose between highlighting by lines, by words, or both - **Content filter** - Show everything, changed content only, added content only, or removed content only These options let you focus on the type of changes that matter most to you. ### Domain-Based Grouping When you are monitoring 5 or more pages on the same domain, PageCrawl can group notifications by domain. To enable this, turn on the **Group emails by domain** setting in your workspace notification preferences. Once enabled, changes from the same domain are bundled into a single email, keeping your inbox organized and making it easier to review related changes together. ### AI Feedback Each email notification includes feedback links that let you mark a change as **Important** or **Noise**. PageCrawl's AI learns from your feedback and uses it to improve future importance scoring, so over time you receive fewer irrelevant notifications. ### Other Supported Notification Channels PageCrawl supports several other notification channels to suit your preferences: - [Slack notifications](/help/notifications/article/send-slack-notification-when-changes-detected.md) - [Discord notifications](/help/integrations/article/track-website-changes-integrate-with-discord-notifications.md) - [Microsoft Teams notifications](/help/integrations/article/send-microsoft-teams-notification-when-changes-detected.md) - [Telegram notifications](/help/integrations/article/track-website-changes-integrate-with-telegram-notifications.md) - [Webhook integration](/help/integrations/article/webhook-integration.md) - [Zapier integration](/help/integrations/article/pagecrawl-zapier-integration.md) --- Need more?
