Already reviewed leads

Choose a Website Template

Every setup starts here. First check whether a saved website template already matches the site layout. Only create a new one if you do not already have a tested template for that kind of page.

Option A: Use a Saved Website Template

This is the normal path when the website layout has already been described. Choose one saved template below to unlock the website source step.

1
Option B: Create a New Website Template

Use this only when you do not already have a saved template for this site layout. The crawler can usually teach itself from one homepage or landing page, one search/results page, and one example listing page.

Automatic setup will choose selectors for you, preview the result, save the website template, mark step 1 complete, and then take you straight to the website source step.

Optional technical settings
Review or fine-tune this template only if automatic setup needs help
2
Let the crawler study the example pages

Why this matters: this step suggests the parts of the page that look like listing links, prices, titles, descriptions, and images if you need to inspect or adjust the automatic setup.

Listing Page Suggestions
3
Confirm what should be extracted

Why this matters: the saved website template needs clear selectors for listing links and important fields. The first selector is primary and later selectors act as fallbacks.

4
Preview the result before saving

Why this matters: a preview gives quick confidence that the crawler is pointing at the right links and reading the right fields before the website template is reused in live monitoring.

5
Save the reusable website template

Why this matters: once a website template is saved, this step is complete and later website sources and monitoring plans can reuse it instead of repeating the setup work.

Technical fallback

Most users should ignore this. It is here so an engineer can make a direct edit if a site needs unusual tuning.

Add a Website Source

Choose a saved website template, then point it at the website or local area you want to watch. A website source is the specific place the crawler will revisit later, including the exact results page pattern if that site uses market- or category-specific search URLs.

2
Add a Website Source

Why this matters: a website source is the reusable "place we watch" record. It connects one saved website template to one website entry point or local region. You should not need a brand-new website template for every search term if the page layout stays the same.

Optional technical settings

Set Up a Monitoring Plan

Choose a saved website source, decide the shortest and longest wait between checks, and keep the default of 50 newest listings unless you need something different.

3
Set Up a Monitoring Plan

Why this matters: this controls the random timing window for checks and how many of the newest listings are reviewed each time. The defaults below match the stakeholder operating model.

Move setup to another laptop

Use this only after a website template, website source, and monitoring plan are already working. Export creates one portable setup bundle that can be pasted into a fresh laptop so the setup does not need to be rebuilt from scratch.

Export current setup

This includes website templates, website sources, and monitoring plans. It does not include listings, crawl history, or downloaded artifacts.

Import setup on this laptop

Paste a setup bundle from another machine. Re-importing the same bundle updates matching website sources and monitoring plans instead of creating obvious duplicates.
