Assign a unique tone to a specific notification sender??

[missin44]

I have a dilemma I hope someone can help me solve. It's a two-fold problem.

1. I would like to be able to assign a unique tone to a single notification. Example: I get notifications from work, at all hours. They come in the form - alert@XXXX.net . It's not important what the tone is, just that it's specific to the example shown.

2. Once the above is accomplished, for times when I'm sleeping, I would like to be able to silence all ringers and notifications except for the above, alert@XXXX.net

3. In a perfect world I would like to easily turn this off and on for those days that I'm not working.

I'm guessing it's pretty easy to do, I just haven't been able to figure it out.
For what it's worth I have a Note 10+, all updates completed.

It's a matter of assigning that to a contact ("Work Alert", for example), giving it a unique ringtone if you want, and then setting it as a favorite contact. Even in Do Not Disturb mode, that contact can still ring in.


The trick will be your off-days. The only thing I can think of, with the stock phone app, is to un-mark it as a favorite when you don't want it bothering you.

You can use schedules with do not disturb mode. So you should be able to give it days off.

Schedules? Is that different from routines?

I'm not sure? I'm unfamiliar with routines; is that a Samsung thing?

I routinely forget where I'm going, or why I went somewhere.
I schedule a reminder to tell me what I should be doing and when.

I routinely forget to schedule, as it's not part of my routine.

I hope this clears that up.

Thanks all, I'll give it a try.
