Play Sound when a specific cell change the Value google sheets-CodePudding

I am trying to run the code of this post, :

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

with the recommendation of Rob Blakemore

Could someone pass me a sheet that is working with this code?

I have tried to test this code in a sheet and it does not work for me.

it only sends me the message: Checking for calls...

I send you the link of my sheet:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rdm0zmZMherO8IspDb3Ce9n0j9tLYFYtM9V8fIX8uV4/edit#gid=0

this is the code of the appscript:

Code:
// 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]; });

CodePudding user response：

In your script, how about changing the endpoint of the mp3 file as follows?

From:

<source src="http://docs.google.com/uc?export=open&id=1CfWaMX6wfJSSdp-u_rU0bkRpwNmXWpVu/view?usp=sharing" type="audio/mp3">

To:

<source src="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1CfWaMX6wfJSSdp-u_rU0bkRpwNmXWpVu&export=download" type="audio/mp3">

In this case, webContentLink is used.

Note:

When I tested your script by reflecting this modification, I confirmed that your mp3 file was played.
