}Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | No | New monitor name | |
| uuid | Yes | Monitor uuid (from list_monitors) | |
| active | No | true resumes checks, false pauses them | |
| labels | No | Label names for the monitor (up to 10). New names create the label in the account; existing labels with the same name are reused. Replaces the monitor's labels: include the ones it already has (get_monitor lists them) to keep them. [] or null removes them all. | |
| actions | No | Ordered list of interactions to perform before each check, e.g. [{"type":"CLICK","selector":"#accept-cookies"},{"type":"WAIT","value":1500},{"type":"CLICK","selector":".load-more"}]. Use this when the content to watch is behind a cookie banner, a tab, a "show more" control, or a dropdown. Max 20 steps. Script and JS/CSS injection steps are dashboard-only and rejected here. Replaces the whole list; read the monitor first to keep existing steps. Pass null to remove them all. | |
| jsonPath | No | For JSON API endpoints: JSONPath to the value to monitor, e.g. $.data.items[0].price. Starts with '$'. Pass null to clear. | |
| keywords | No | TEXT monitors only: comma-separated keywords to watch for, e.g. "sold out, unavailable" Pass null to clear. | |
| frequency | No | Minutes between checks, as a string: '5', '15', '30', '60' (hourly), '180', '360', '720', '1440' (daily), '10080' (weekly), '302400' (monthly). Omit for the plan default. A frequency faster than the plan allows is raised to the plan minimum. | |
| notifyWhen | No | Natural-language alert condition evaluated by AI on every check, e.g. 'notify me when the price drops below $500' or 'alert when the Pro plan changes'. Mutually exclusive with notifyConditions. Pass null to clear. | |
| keywordsAction | No | TEXT monitors only: alert when keywords are ADDED to the page (default) or REMOVED from it | |
| outputExtractor | No | How to extract the monitored value from the page text: NUMBER pulls the first number (good for prices), REGEX applies outputExtractorPattern, NONE keeps the full text. | |
| notifyConditions | No | Deterministic alert conditions on the extracted output (no AI credits). All conditions must pass. Requires the output to change. Mutually exclusive with notifyWhen. Not available for HTML monitors. Pass null to clear. | |
| outputExtractorPattern | No | Regular expression for outputExtractor: REGEX — bare pattern or /pattern/flags; the first capture group (or full match) becomes the monitored output, e.g. 'In stock: (\d+)' Pass null to clear. |
