If the hash was seen before, the workflow stops here.\n* Finally, when new changes are detected a copy of the contents are uploaded to Google Drive and a logged into a Google sheet. A notification email can also be sent if action is required.\n\n### How to use\n* Update the URL you want to track in the node named \"variables\" and ensure the HTML node has updated selectors to get the content you want.\n* Ensure the timezone is set correctly when using the Scheduled Trigger node.\n\n### Need Help?\nJoin the [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/XPKeKXeB7d) or ask in the [Forum](https://community.n8n.io/)!"}, "typeVersion": 1}], "pinData": {}, "connections": {"Markdown": {"main": [[{"node": "Get Hash of Contents", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Variables": {"main": [[{"node": "Fetch Webpage", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Log Record": {"main": [[{"node": "Notify of Change", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Fetch Webpage": {"main": [[{"node": "Extract Contents", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Only New Hashes": {"main": [[{"node": "Take a Snapshot", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Take a Snapshot": {"main": [[{"node": "Log Record", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Extract Contents": {"main": [[{"node": "Markdown", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Schedule Trigger": {"main": [[{"node": "Variables", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Get Hash of Contents": {"main": [[{"node": "Only New Hashes", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}}}
