Hi, sometimes I get messages from sender without number- there is just sender name in the message (like from bank or microsoft), but no numer I can assign contact to. Is there any way I could set custom sound for messages from this sender? I already try adding a contact for this sender (wont work), setting shortcut (automation to play sound) which don't start automatically for messages. I really need this feature, it was not a problem on android... I'm working as a maintenance engineer and need to react asap if get that kind of message- which is why I need to set custom sound alert (it need to be longer to wake me up if I fall asleep).

I don’t believe there is a way built in but I think you can achieve this through a personal shortcut.

You can use the receive message trigger, leave the sender blank, and put a keyword in the message section which will trigger the action. You can then set it to play a sound, show a dialog, or any number of other things.

This community should be able to help.
