Keyword Notifications: Get Instant Alerts When Text Appears on Any Web Page

You do not want to stare at a refreshing page waiting for one word to show up. You want to walk away and be told the moment it does.

Keyword Notifications do that. Turn on "Notify the user" in the Detect Keyword tab and Auto Refresh sends a desktop notification — and optionally a sound — the instant your target word or phrase appears on a refreshed page.

How to set up keyword notifications

1. Open the Auto Refresh popup and go to the Detect Keyword tab.
2. Type the word or phrase you want to be alerted about.
3. Enable "Notify the user".
4. Choose "When keyword found" or "When keyword not found", depending on what you are watching for.
5. Optionally enable "Play sound on keyword found/not found" for an audio alert too.
6. Click Save.

Notes

• Notifications work even when you are on another tab or another window — you will still be alerted.
• Use "When keyword not found" to catch a word disappearing (for example, "Sold out" being removed).
• A history of detected keywords is kept in the popup so you can review past hits.
• Make sure Chrome notifications are allowed by your operating system.
• Keyword detection is a Premium feature.

Found vs. not found: two ways to watch

Keyword notifications can fire in two directions. "When keyword found" alerts you the moment your word appears — a restock label, an "Available" badge, an approval status, or an error string in a log. This is the mode most people start with.

"When keyword not found" does the opposite: it alerts you when the word is missing. That is how you catch something disappearing — a "Sold out" tag being removed, a "Maintenance" banner clearing, or an item dropping off a list. Combined with a sound alert and the history of detected keywords, you get a complete record of when each change happened.

Getting notifications to show reliably

Browser notifications depend on your operating system as well as Chrome. If alerts are not appearing, check that notifications are enabled for Chrome in your system settings, and that Do Not Disturb or Focus modes are not silently suppressing them. On macOS in particular, Chrome has to be allowed to post notifications before the extension's alerts can appear.

It also helps to choose the right trigger. Watching for a value that is almost always present will fire constantly; pick a keyword that only appears at the moment you care about. Pairing the notification with a sound alert is a good safety net for the times you are not looking at the screen at all.

Stop babysitting the tab. With Keyword Notifications, Auto Refresh watches the page and pings you the moment your text appears — so you can act the second it matters.
