Hi there @networktwentyeight,

Just add it in the same WF when you’re creating the thing. You might lookup how to play sounds in JS or use the Howler plugin.

Hi, I’ve tried it that way, still no sound

So I want the sound to play on a different page when a new thing is created

How can I do that? Is it possible?

most browsers (esp. mobile) will block sounds if they don’t come from a proper player where the user clicks on play

Okay, so sounds can only play if it’s a native app not a web app?

exactly. you would need to use a different workflow for playing on web. (or deploy the thunkable app as a web app…). But most bubble audio player plugins will also do the job instead of the henry audio function and work on app as well as web

im just saying that browsers will block autoplay. if you linkt the sound being played to some workflow triggered by the users it might work.
