How to get an alarm when a message contains certain words

Use the Contains field to ring only when a notification includes words like "urgent" or "delivery". Add several words and any one will trigger it.

Steps

  1. Open Alarms and tap +.
  2. Choose the app.
  3. In Contains, type a word and tap Add. Repeat to add more words.
  4. Choose a ringtone and tap Save.

How matching works

The alarm triggers only when the app matches and at least one of the words is found in the message. Leave Contains empty to match any message.

Tip

Use short, distinctive words. Very common words will make the alarm ring too often.
