Relying on manual web browsing to track compliance shifts on the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) portal is a recipe for operational failure. The solution is to build an automated monitoring pipeline that actively scrapes change data and pushes it straight to your team’s communication hub.
We achieve this by anchoring a visual scraper to a middleware routing system. Here is the technical blueprint:
First, deploy a scraping recipe inside Hexomatic. Target the specific MAS “Regulations and Guidance” web repository. Configure the scraping agent to execute a visual monitoring loop every Monday at 09:00 SGT. The agent is trained to look for shifts in the core HTML text containers, bypassing the main site menus to isolate newly published PDFs or circular text blocks.
Second, configure an API webhook to capture the change payload. Inside Make.com, create a custom scenario with an inbound webhook listener. Link Hexomatic’s data output directly to this webhook. When a text shift is identified, Hexomatic fires a raw JSON string containing the exact timestamp, modified URL, and the newly injected text snippet.
Third, establish the Slack routing parameters. In the next module of your Make scenario, insert a Slack: Create a Message action block. Direct this output to a restricted internal channel named #compliance-alerts. Format the text block using clean Markdown to display the official source URL alongside the scraped text difference. By automating this loop, your compliance officers can review real statutory changes over their morning coffee without spending a single minute hunting for data.
