You leave a cron job of some sort scanning the directory regularly. When the
directory changes, the job does the extra notification and any extra actions
action. Would an "every 5-minute" scan be frequent enough for you?

No, rsync is to reduce the bandwidth of the file transfer and not trigger
the action if no files have actually changed.
