Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
No

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to have a checkbox in the "New watch" settings that would allow me to ignore changes on the website to trigger notification.

Describe the use-case and give concrete real-world examples
I use changedetection to store triggered values in the timeseries database (influxdb) using post:// notification. I would like it to store value every time it executes the watch.

Research direction

Start with the "New watch" settings and trace the post:// notification path described in the issue. The work is done when a watch can be configured to notify on every execution, including executions with no detected change, so the value is stored in the timeseries database each time.
