Apps: Google Spreadsheet App

. You can use a Google Spreadsheet App to track the screenshots andtracker information. You can use it to track Amazon prices, https://blit.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/22000275948-amazon-trackersGoogle SearchRank, Amazon Category Rank, YouTube view counts, and more.

Note that this differs from using a Google Spreadsheet as the sourcefor the capture.

Prepare your spreadsheet

Use column headers to track the information available with the Blitapp capture. You can include any of these columns in any order:

  • Date: the date at which the capture was taken
  • URL: the URL of the web page captured
  • Screenshot: the URL of the screenshot taken by Blitapp
  • Status: the status of the screenshot - Finished, or Error
  • Tracker: the name of the tracker you want to include, such as Amazon Category Rank, Google Search Rank, etc.

If you include any tracker, make sure the column header matches the tracker's name exactly. You can always ask us to create more trackers for specific pages.

Here is a simple Google spreadsheet we'll use as an example:
