How can I make my calendar, and only my calendar, give me an audible notification

[csterlingjohnson]

I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, and I'd like to have the notifications such that only the calendar makes a sound when I have an upcoming meeting. I don't want the phone to ring or for my phone to make a sound when I get a new text or e-mail, but I would like to get an audible notification when I get a calendar notification.

Enable Do Not Disturb, under allow exceptions, choose custom. Then set calls and SMS to none, then enable event/task alerts and reminders. If you have other specific apps you want to go through, choose them under priority apps.

Got it. Thanks! That's probably a more flexible way of doing it than the workaround I figured out, which was to turn the ringtone volume on and set the ringtone and all other notification tones to Silent (instead of picking the bell sound, or the piano sound, etc.) Appreciate the quick response!

Yeah. That's kinda convoluted. At least using the DND feature can let you turn the setting on and off whenever you need to.
