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!

      That’s an interesting solution that i’d rather avoid because it’s proprietary

      Also, that wouldn’t distinguish the two states of call/email, I don’t think.

        It was the first result i found for ‘monitor webpage chrome’. There’s a very good chance that what you’re after is just two or three results lower. I promise it would be a lot easier than developing an entirely new solution that works based on speaker sounds. Bonus, these extensions have basic stuff like sms or email support right out of the box.
