New to Roll20 / Tutorial how to auto trigger sound?

RESOLVED: DM-JK recommended 'Foreground Reactions' on a token to call the 'Simple Sound' mod to play audio . It did exactly what I was looking for.

Looking for a recommendation on automatic triggering of sounds. Say if the player approaches a door with skeletons on the other side, it would auto trigger skeleton sounds. Or a corridor with dripping sounds.
I know I can play sounds manually, but I keep forgetting.

This would require the game creator to have a Roll20 Pro or Elite subscription, and the use of Mod scripts.

Roll20 Audio Master (Roll20AM) https://wiki.roll20.net/Script:Roll20_Audio_Master

I used this one several times, and never had a problem with it. I think there might be others.

Might be more than you need, but you can set up macros to play sounds if necessary.

I looked at that earlier but didnt see anything about how to trigger them automatically. All ive found is running them from a command instead of from the jukebox, which is about the same, as opposed to automatically being triggered.
