Text to speech for certain contacts in chat

Hi.  I'm looking for something that will speak messages from certain contacts.

I use Webex to collaborate with my co-workers as we all work from home.

Some of them get quite upset if they don't receive an immediate response.  About 90% of the time I will automatically look at Webex whenever I hear a notification sound, but sometimes I'm concentrating on solving a problem or talking to a customer.  I'd like to be able to hear their messages that way I know when one of them has sent me a message.

Alternatively a custom notification sound for specific contacts would be helpful.

Anyone have a solution for this?  It can be a kludgy work around, I don't care.  Whatever works, even if it's held together with bubblegum and duct tape.  Even something that watches a defined part of the screen and does something if any pixels in that part of the screen changes.  I run Windows 10 on multiple monitors if that makes a difference...

 

Thanks!

You could build an integration using the Webex Rest API. Register a webhook tagt is triggered for new messages. Check if it was sent from such a contact. In case it is, your integration may trigger a TTS engine and read out that message.

These are some links to check out:
