Technology alerts are triggered on two cases, representing the two alert types you can set:
There are two types of technology alerts:
technology_added: when a new technology is detected on a company website
technology_removed: when a technology is no longer detected on a company website
On the json payload, the type
property allows you to identify the type of alert that has been triggered:
{"event_id": 458325,"timestamp": "2020-04-23T12:25:32.209Z","type": "technology_removed", // <<<< This is where you can identify the alert type"alert_name": "Hotjar deleted","event_verbose": "Wine Central removed Hotjar","domain": "winecentral.co.nz",...
Both technology_added and technology_removed alert types send the same 3 event properties under the "event_properties" key:
"event_properties": {"technology_name": "Mailchimp""technology_domain": "https://mailchimp.com""technology_category": "marketing"}
"event_properties": {"technology_name": "Mailchimp""technology_domain": "https://mailchimp.com""technology_category": "marketing"}
