Hello Jian Jun ,

Thank you for reaching out on Microsoft Q&A.

To monitor web page content changes on your Azure Windows server and send notification emails, you can use a combination of Azure Functions and Azure Logic Apps. First, create an Azure Function that periodically checks the web page content using a web scraping library like Beautiful Soup. The function downloads the web page content and compares it with a previously stored version in Azure Blob Storage. If a change is detected, the function outputs a status indicating the change. Then, set up an Azure Logic App to schedule the function's execution at regular intervals. The Logic App will include a condition to check the function's response, and if a change is detected, it will trigger an email notification using an email service like Office 365 Outlook.

If you find this information helpful, please consider accepting this response to close this thread. Thank you!

@Jian Jun Thanks for reaching out. Can you please confirm which azure service you are referring to when you mentioned "running a windows server on azure"? Are you referring to Azure Virtual Machine?
