I would like to set up an automation that if something happens it loudly alerts my phone (not just a notification)
For example play an alarm, ring my phone. I use android
Any recommendations how to?
I assume by “something happens” you mean any ST activity. Which ver of android are you using? If you are on Android 13 on a Samsung phone, you can use ‘Modes and Routines’
You can set a routine like:
IF notification (from ST)
THEN play alarm etc
Yes, Trigger: ST event Action: Android based Alarm
I have a Google pixel with android 13 and a Samsung Tablet with android 12. So dpnt have “modes and routines”
Any other options?

You could add volume controls, play sounds, repeat the text, or whatever floats your boat. You can also limit it to a particular text in the notification so it only plays it there are trigger words in the notification.
Thanks, this is exactly how. I have tasker on my phone (truth be told havent used it to much). I can have tasker listen to the notifications and play a loud song
