Automatically backup screenshots and task data to cloud storage services. Keep permanent records of all tracked changes in your preferred storage solution.
What Are Upload Channels?
Upload channels automatically send your tracking data (screenshots, change logs, HTML archives) to external storage services. This creates permanent backups and makes data easily accessible from your preferred platforms.
What Gets Uploaded
- Screenshots: PNG images of tracked pages (if enabled)
- Change Logs: JSON files with detailed change information
- HTML Archives: Complete HTML snapshots of tracked pages
- Backup Files: ZIP archives with all data

Setting Up Upload Channels
General Setup Process
- Go to Upload Channels in dashboard
- Click "Create New Channel"
- Select service type (Imgur, Dropbox, AWS S3, etc.)
- Enter API credentials or OAuth authorization
- Test the connection
- Save and enable the channel
API Keys Required
Most upload services require API keys or OAuth authentication. You'll need to create accounts and generate credentials before setup.
Using Upload Channels in Tasks
Enable Upload for a Task
- When creating/editing a task, find "Upload Channels" section
- Toggle "Enable Upload to Remote Storage"
- Select one or more configured upload channels
- Save your task
When enabled, every task execution will automatically upload data to your selected channels.
Upload Channel Costs
Token Costs Per Execution
- Image Hosting: 1 token per service
- File Storage: 1-2 tokens per service
- Costs multiply: Using 3 services = 3-6 tokens extra
Example Cost Calculation
Base task (10) + Server rendering (30) + Screenshot (5) + 2 upload services (2) = 47 tokens per check
Upload Channel Best Practices
✓ Choose Based on Needs
Use image hosting for screenshot-only tasks. Use file storage when you need complete data backups.
✓ Don't Over-Upload
Select only the channels you actually need. Each additional service costs tokens.
✓ Organize Your Storage
Configure upload paths/folders to keep data organized by task or date.
✓ Monitor Storage Limits
Check your storage service quotas regularly to avoid upload failures.
