Automation Workshop includes the Play Audio File Action that can play audio files in .wav format. Playing audio files can be very useful to notify a user that the Task has successfully finished or, conversely, has experienced an unexpected error.
Besides supplementing the wide range of Automation Workshop alerts and notifications, the capacity to play audio files can be useful in numerous other ways when designing Tasks that interact with users.
