So i have a bool value where i need to activate some kind of alarm to get the users attention (this is used for a countdown for a semi-automated pizza kiosk) when any of the items (pizzas in this case) bool is true. It this possible somehow?

(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.

I think interaction with any screen in the app is sufficient. Even tapping on an empty part of the screen or a button that does nothing more than a notification action should be enough.

The whole point of the restriction is so you aren’t blasted with audio unexpectedly when first navigating to a web page. If you are already in the app and at least tapped on something, you will be fine.

I think the Custom AI component would be a good solution for this. I guess the only consideration might be if the page is fully reloaded on its own for some reason.
