Tea & Cake — Monitoring group chats

Mainly for chatroom mods, this feature can automatically watch group chats for trigger words that you specify. When one of the trigger words appears in a message, you hear a gong sound.

To enable Tea & Cake in your web browser, first you must have Tampermonkey installed. Most desktop and laptop browsers can install Tampermonkey, and also some on Android (for example, Kiwi). But apps and Apple iOS devices do not support it.

Next, install the Tea & Cake script. (If Tampermonkey is working, you should see a green Install button there.)

Then go to your Listener Settings or Member Settings page. Check the box "Watch group chats for these trigger words" and specify the trigger words you want to watch for. These settings autosave, unlike the rest of that page.

In each group chat that you want to monitor, press the new "Watch this conversation" button in the toolbar at the top right.

To provide feedback on this feature, please reply in this forum thread or message me.

Hat tips to AlphaAtom (author of the obsolete 7Cups Highlight Extension) and to @CommunityModKay who brought the idea to my attention.

@RarelyCharlie

Thanks for recreating the ping for us Charlie! I noticed that the "Watch this conversation" button doesn't stay highlighted green after refreshing the room. Does that mean that we have to click on it every time we refresh?

@CommunityModWilllow That is correct. Some web browsers now refuse to play sounds on a page unless you have clicked something, so the new button cannot stay pressed if you refresh, and you have to click it again. I think this restriction might not have existed when the old Highlight extension was made.
