Can PA act on Teams messages on a one on one basis?

Hi.  I'm just getting into Power Automate.  I was thinking it'd be great if I could use it to monitor Teams and if someone starts a chat with me, play a sound file on my desktop.  Teams is annoying subtle with its notifications.  If I'm in the kitchen making a sandwich, I often don't hear the beep then messages go unanswered for too long.
 
I asked GPT, it said sure you can make an automated cloud flow that will talk to PA desktop to do the sound notification.  But when I went to make the cloud flow, all the chat options want me to pick groups or chat channels.  I don't see how to capture when one person sends just me a message.
 
Is it possible?  If so, can someone point me toward some documentation or give me a clue on how to implement that?
 
Thanks a lot!
