Misconception of Change Detection use

[cyberluke]

Hi, I pay subscription and the crucial logical thing I am expecting is:

Send HTML notification of changed DIV block including CSS styles from original page.

But instead, I get only a plain-text without in-line video, images and formatting. => That is ok for change detection but as this service is advertised to be VisualPing competitor, I did expect the HTML notification will have exactly same formatting, visual and content as the modified block parsed by CSS / XPath rules.

I want to have it sent on Microsoft Teams.

Visualping are doing comparison of the screenshot, but we are doing examination of text, JSON and other data, so it is not quite the same

anyway, please fill in the contact form at the bottom of https://changedetection.io/ and they'll happily refund and cancel your subscription

You can also use this option to send the screenshot on changes

That will send screenshot of whole website plus it is using big compression, so it is not usable.

Why there cannot be simply:

1. Xpath or CSS div filter
2. Send a subset of HTML, do not parse it as text
3. Allow to include site specific CSS style
4. Send on e-mail

Basically, I would develop this notification checker using a simple RegEx expression.
