Gnome - move window with "something" in title to workspace X

I am trying to implement functionality of OpenBox to Gnome. One of the things I have set up in OpenBox is that if I run a 'chrome app' with my gmail, OpenBox automatically starts it in Workspace 5.

Is there a way to do this in Gnome?  I saw there is an extension called "Auto Move Windows" but it looks very much as it is application-based and not window tite-based. This won't work for me because I want non-gmail chrome windows opened on current workspaces.

You'll probably have write a script that implements this using wmctrl and then bind that script to a hotkey in GNOME.

I've used devils pie in the past for this, it's successor devils pie 2 looks to have a function to move a window to a workspace so have a look at that:
