ChangePing

Get an email when appointment slots open up

If you keep refreshing a public page that says "No appointments available", paste it into ChangePing and click that message. We check it every hour and email you when the words change, such as when new dates are announced.

It suits public notice pages, such as visa centre announcements, consulate news and exam registration pages. It can't sign in or click through booking forms.

How to set it up

  1. 1

    Paste the public notice page

    The page that announces availability or new dates, not the booking form itself.

  2. 2

    Click the availability message

    Then a new banner or a changed footer stays quiet.

  3. 3

    Act when the email arrives

    The summary tells you what changed, so you know whether it is worth opening the booking site.

Tips

  • Official pages often post a "last updated" date that changes even when nothing else does. Ignore lines containing "Last updated" to skip those.
  • If a booking page only shows slots after you sign in, ChangePing can't see them. Watch the public news or notices page instead.

Questions

Can it book the appointment for me?

No. It tells you when the page changes. Booking is up to you.

Is checking every hour fast enough?

For announcements of new dates, usually yes. Slots that appear and vanish within minutes need a faster tool.

Is it allowed?

ChangePing visits the page about as often as a person checking once an hour, and only public pages. Check the site's own terms if you are unsure.
