Distill web monitor is a browser extension enabling to watch and warn for dynamic changes on a webpage.
In my case I want to setup an automatic system to update my personnal agenda from changes on a portal of a teaching contractor with whom I am working for.
Often, this is faily easy if your distant agenda et webmaster can provide you with a specific .ics file that can directly be used from the google agenda.
But when this is not the case, you need to collect these data differently such as through email or directly on a page of you distant website working partner where your agenda with them in being display.
I my case and this first test with one of my contrators, succèsscolaire, my portal’s main page provide date and time of every ucoming meeting I have there with the 7 next coming days.
This is where the Distill web monitor extensions is very useful. After installing the extension, I go to my main’s portal page and then I click on the Distill extension and then on the button “Monitor parts of page”. Then i select the part of the page where my next courses sumary is displayed and that I want to monitor.
