Google Script: Play Sound when a specific cell change the Value

Question

Situation:

Example Spreadsheet

Sheet: Support
Column: H has the following function \"=IF(D:D>0;IF($B$1>=$G:G;\"Call

Answer 1

This is a pretty tough problem, but it can be done with a sidebar that periodically polls the H column for changes.

Code.gs

// creates a custom menu when the spreadsheet is opened
function onOpen() {
  var ui = SpreadsheetApp.getUi()
    .createMenu('Call App')
    .addItem('Open Call Notifier', 'openCallNotifier')
    .addToUi();

  // you could also open the call notifier sidebar when the spreadsheet opens
  // if you find that more convenient
  // openCallNotifier();
}

// opens the sidebar app
function openCallNotifier() {
  // get the html from the file called "Page.html"
  var html = HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile('Page') 
    .setTitle("Call Notifier");

  // open the sidebar
  SpreadsheetApp.getUi()
    .showSidebar(html);
}

// returns a list of values in column H
function getColumnH() {
  var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Support");

  // get the values in column H and turn the rows into a single values
  return sheet.getRange(1, 8, sheet.getLastRow(), 1).getValues().map(function (row) { return row[0]; });
}
