Set an alarm for messages from one contact on Android

Ring for messages from one contact and keep everyone else quiet. Set the From field in a Notification Tracker alarm.

Steps

  1. Open Alarms and tap +.
  2. Choose the messaging app.
  3. In From, type the sender's name exactly as it appears in the notification. You can also use Add Sender to pick one.
  4. Choose a ringtone, turn on Ignore Do Not Disturb if you want it to ring at night, and tap Save.

Tips

  • The name must match how the app shows it in notifications, so check an existing notification in History first.
  • This works for apps that include the sender's name in the notification.
