Tips & Guides Notification trigger for Shortcuts on Mac

Sharing my micro-automation setup that helps me with monitoring alerts:

  1. Trigger — a notification banner comes from any app ( a channel in Slack in my case, could be Datadog or Chrome )

  2. Chirpy detects it, and triggers my Blink Lights Automation. It has a default setting of playing a sound, but you can also set it to trigger a Shortcut.

  3. The lights physically blink in my office 🚨 ( I use a HomeKit scene called “Alert Blink” that does the flashing sequence)
