Is there a way to conditionally block or allow notifications? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Ever since we've gone to hybrid working, I've been having to deactivate work notifications and enable game notifications back and forth and it's driving me nuts.

I have a Pixel 9 Pro XL and would like a way to allow app notifications to come through based on a variable that I can control. At my disposal I have Tasker and Home Assistant but can't find a way to perform automations to enable or disable specific app notifications.

Is there a way to do this? I have to imagine other people have this problem.

I can second buzzkill. I was getting frustrated with group chats during work hours buzzing my phone (and my watch) with every single message as they came in. It was incredibly distracting during meetings and such (and putting my phone on silent wouldnt stop the watch notifications). I tried buzzkill to add a "cooldown" to the push notifications for anything that happened twice in a few minutes. You can absolutely set rules on notifications based on things like time of day, or on specific apps.
