Setting Up a Sound Notification to Play When File Downloads

Hello! I recently switched to Vivaldi for my browser and cannot set a custom sound to play when a download finishes. I know I can set Hazel to sound a notification when criteria are met so I have attempted to set up rules to play my sound when my Downloads folder receives a new file (within one minute). I've selected my preferred sound (.wav file) and have run tests. No sound is heard.

Notifications in Settings on macOS are enabled. The File meets the criteria. At this point, I figure I must be doing something wrong with the rules. Current rules image is here: https://imgur.com/a/VoqI5Cp

Thank you for any ideas!

Does it work if you use one of the system sounds?

It does not work with a default sound.

Are you sure your rule is matching and being executed? Try the troubleshooting guide here: https://www.noodlesoft.com/kb/hazel-tro ... ing-guide/

It seems to be matching but the rule doesn't get run. It runs one rule and then stops.

It doesn't process past the first rule "Newly Added Files".

If I turn off the Newly Added Files rule, then my rule plays the sound.

It looks like if I append my sound rule to the Newly Added Files tag rule and change the triggering conditions I can get it to run.

Is there a way to specify half a minute? Example: Date Added is in the last 0.5 minute

The manual has a section on how rules work. If a file matches a rule, evaluation will stop. You need to use a "Continue" action if you want subsequent rules to be evaluated after a match.

Yes, you can use Date added and some sort of time constraint.

You are the BEST! Thank you for your help!
