Watchlist & Sync

Keep the pages that matter most continuously up to date. Use Instant Sync to refresh a single page on demand, or add pages to your Watchlist for automatic, frequent re-crawling.

By default, each source is re-crawled on a fixed schedule — either weekly or daily, depending on your plan (see Sync Frequency). Two features let you go faster than that schedule for the pages that change most often:

  • Instant Sync — update a single page on demand.
  • Watchlist — a set of pages kept continuously up to date.

Both features apply to web scrape sources.

Instant Sync

If you change something important and need it reflected in search straight away, you can request an update for that page with a single click, without waiting for the next scheduled crawl.

Availability: every account, on both weekly and daily crawls.

Watchlist

The Watchlist keeps a set of pages continuously up to date. Add up to 10 URLs per source and Raffle keeps them current on their own, checking them roughly every 10 minutes. This is useful for anything that changes often, such as a pricing page, a product launch, or a campaign you’re running.

Availability: plans that include daily sync, on web scrape sources crawled Weekly or Daily. The Watchlist tab is disabled on sources crawled from a sitemap only and on sources that are only crawled once.

The first time you open a Watchlist, Raffle explains how it works. Click Thanks, I’m ready to continue.

Watchlist statuses

Each watched page shows its title, when its content was last updated, when the next refresh is due, and a status badge:
