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!

    I think it would possibly be easier to write an extension. You can inspire yourself from this extension, intercept media playback, possibly hash the media being played, compare the hash to a known DB you create, and call a script in response to a positive detection.
