Ability to play a sound when a condition is met

Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to play a sound when a certain condition is met? (on free plans)

Many, many use cases:
Alarm clock
Reminder about a deadline
New message received in a chat

and many more.

Ideally, I have an app that has a full multicolor screen that pops up when it is 15 minutes before a restaurant take-out order is due. It would be great if the popup was accompanied with a chime of sorts.

Thank you.
David.

You can use the play sound action for that. It is already inside Glide. But if you want custom sound, yeah sure, good idea!

Hi Maxime, I am not aware that there is an option for that, maybe guide me please.

I have a Coloured block that is hidden until there is a COLLECT order at the restaurant. When an order comes through the block becomes visible, when that condition is met and the block becomes visible, I would like to play a sound. doesn’t have to be custom though. It must happen automatically while the app is open, not a button is pressed.

The built in sound functionality requires user interaction to trigger the sound action, so that won’t work for your case.

One thing you could try is create a custom AI component that monitors a column value and plays a sound whenever the value changes.

Keep in mind that most browsers prevent sound playback unless there’s an initial user interaction, such as a mouse click or keyboard input, even during page rendering.
