PingAlert — Loud Message Notifier

Never miss a whisper, mention, or BNet message again.

PingAlert fires a loud audio alert, a screen flash, and a draggable pop-up toast notification whenever a message arrives that matters to you — whispers, name mentions, BNet whispers, raid warnings, and more. Fully configurable, with a polished TSM-inspired settings UI.

Features

Alerts

Audio alerts — choose from built-in WoW sounds or your own custom .ogg / .mp3 files dropped into the AUDIO\ folder
Screen flash — coloured edge glow that fades out, colour matches your active theme
Toast notification — draggable pop-up showing sender, channel, and message preview; click the sender name to open a reply box
Repeat alert — re-fires until you acknowledge it or reply

Message Types

Enable alerts for any combination of: Whispers, Name Mentions, Guild, Officer, Party, Raid, Raid Warning, Say, Yell, Emote, Instance/BG Chat, Custom Channels, BNet Whisper (in-game), BNet Whisper (mobile/app), BNet Conversation, BNet Friend Online

Per-Channel Sound Overrides

Assign a different sound to specific channels — for example, use the Murloc sound for whispers and a bell for raid warnings.

Contact & Group System

Group character names and alts under a single label (e.g. one entry for a friend's BattleTag covering all their characters)
Scan Friends List — automatically imports all your BNet friends by BattleTag, populating toon names for anyone currently online
Per-contact sound override — play a unique sound when a specific person messages you
Last seen — tracks when each contact last messaged you
Search — filter contacts by name or character name
Sort — alphabetical or by last seen

Automation

DND Schedule — set specific days and time ranges to automatically enable Do Not Disturb (supports overnight ranges, e.g. Sunday 8pm → Monday 8am)
Auto-Reply — automatically reply to whispers when AFK; toggle to only fire when your in-game AFK status is active; editable message; per-sender cooldown (adjustable, default 30s)
AFK auto-DND — mirrors your in-game AFK flag to automatically enable/disable DND

Filtering
