# Instant Monitors

Imagine you're interested in keeping tabs on new book releases on your favorite online bookstore. Instead of setting up a monitor from scratch, you could simply pick a template designed for tracking new releases on book websites. This template already knows what to look for and how to alert you when there's something new.

You can find a variety of these monitors on the [Explore](https://monitoro.app/explore) page, tailored to monitor different kinds of updates across numerous websites, and ready to launch in an instant. Whether it's price changes, new blog posts, or product availability, there's likely a template that fits your needs. If not, just drop us a word!

Instant Monitors come with built-in alerts to get notified the moment something changes. You decide how you want to be alerted—via push notification, email, DM, or another preferred method.

But there's more, after creating your monitor you have access to:

* **Automations**: Streamline your workflow by connecting your monitor to spreadsheets or other tools. Automate data collection or other repetitive tasks to save time.
* **Customization**: While these templates come preconfigured, you're not stuck with the default settings. You can adjust what triggers an alert or what action an automation should take, making sure it fits your specific requirements.

With monitor templates, you get a head start on monitoring what matters to you on the internet, with plenty of room to customize and automate your process.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.monitoro.co/reference/monitors/instant-monitors.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
