Visual threshold + Ignore Text

[CR09272]

Hi, I want to know a few things;

1. how can I implement a visual change threshold, like if I want it to alert only when the selected region in visual filter selector changes more than 20% and not alert me for minor changes?

2. can we ask it to ignore all text in the specified region using "filters and triggers"? If so, how?

Thanks

We do not yet suppot visual changes, the system extracts the text and performs change detection based on the extracted text

can we ask it to ignore all text in the specified region using "filters and triggers"? If so, how?

Yes just add the CSS selector to "Remove elements" textbox, directly under the "CSS/JSONPath/JQ/XPath Filters" box

Hey, thanks a lot for this, I am not familiar with github or self hosting, can you please share if I use this with my bot token and chat id in the global notification settings

tgram://bot<your_bot_token>/sendPhoto?chat_id=<your_chat_id>&caption={watch_title} has changed ({diff_url})&photo_url={screenshot_url}

will I have alerts on telegram with the last done screenshot this way?

I think try it first and tell me if there is some error

I can’t find a way for it to work. Please help.

For the discussion here, I have replaced the token id with “randomtoken” and chat id with “randomchatid”
