Alert me on visitors IP address

Can you make a way so that I can be alerted if a visitor with a specific IP address visits my site?

Possibly it could use the trigger function - ie. a trigger of "visitor IP = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx", and an action of "sound an alarm in livechat admin".

My reasoning is that competitors often visit my site to check prices and so on.  If I'm alerted to their presence I can see which products they're looking at and this may give me a heads up that they're about to change their pricing on these products (ie. to undercut me) and this would give me the chance to keep an eye out and respond if needed...

I don't have time to sit and watch the vistors coming or going, and have the admin minimised virtually all the time, so an alert would be ideal, as otherwise I'd most likely miss them.

 

Maybe it could also highlight them in a different colour as well...?

Totally agree. We have the same problem and it'd be good to know when they're about to arrive.
