Help with conditions macro

I have used the TokenMod API (and copied from someone's macro) to make a macro that automatically imposes a condition marker on a selected token and fitted it to my custom markers. I also want the macro to post in the chat a description of what that condition does, but I'm not sure how to do it. I've tried reading about how to format macros but I don't understand how to combine different elements. If anybody could help it'd be much appreciated.

This is how the macro currently looks:

!token-mod ?{Status|
Blinded, --set statusmarkers#!blinded|
Charmed, --set statusmarkers#!charmed-illusion|
Deafened, --set statusmarkers#!deafened|
Frightened, --set statusmarkers#!frightened|
Grappled, --set statusmarkers#!grappled-restrained|
Invisibility, --set statusmarkers#!invisible-hidden|
Incapacitated, --set statusmarkers#!incapacitated|
Paralyzed, --set statusmarkers#!paralyzed|
Petrified, --set statusmarkers#!time|
Poisoned, --set statusmarkers#!poisoned|
Prone, --set rotation#270|
Restrained, --set statusmarkers#!grappled-restrained|
Stunned, --set statusmarkers#!stunned|
Unconscious, --set statusmarkers#!dead}

Also I'm not sure if it's possible but if anyone knows how to make a custom FX activate on the token when the condition is applied, that would be amazing.

You could take a look at my script, Condefinition. It scans incoming roll templates for conditions and saving throws and provides buttons to perform saving throws, assign conditions and post definitions to chat either to GM or players.

I don't use a Roll Query, preferring a row of buttons along the bottom of my screen, so here's an example of my Dead macro:

!token-mod {{ 
  --set 
    statusmarkers|!dead 
}} 
/em @{selected|token_name} is defeated! 

I found that following this video by Nick Olivo to be really helpful for exactly this. It was really easy to set up with his instructions and it does exactly what you're looking to do.
