I have a dumb work related chrome thing, i’d like to make it so that when a certain notification sound plays in chromium, my computer does a few things automatically for me

Does anyone know a good way to make this happen?

I imagine it’d have to be setup like:

when chrome starts playing audio && check if that audio matches soundfile.ogg && myscript.sh, but I don’t know any good cli utilities that could get something like that done, and if there are any better ideas!

    This smells of “So I work from home, but want to sleep, but if my boss pings me on teams I want an alarm to wake me up”

      Is there anything wrong with that? Hahaha, it’s pretty similar but not quite that

        Lazy people tend to be creative people, which is good, especially when confronted with boring activities.

        I’d solve it in hardware, maybe an ESP32 dongle with a mic pretending to be a keyboard.

        Seriously though, sounds like you need a more creative or fulfilling job.

        “So I work from home, but want to sleep play games, but if my boss pings me on teams I want an alarm to wake me up”

        Depending on your employer it could be well okay

      What about have an LLM autoanswer and only wake me up if the bossman keeps talking and also autofill my timecard so I don’t have to
