How to set custom text notification for a group of contacts for Galaxy S6

I am on call 24/7 for my job. We use a paging system (text message) when we get called into work and it comes from a different number each time ex: 7777129401 the next page will be 77771291048. With my Galaxy S4 I was able to set a separate text notification for all of my groups of contacts while my default text messaging notification would be a loud siren (to wake me up in the middle of the night). This means anytime I got a "page" for work or if someone texted me and I didn't have their number in my phone the siren would go off. The only way I can figure out how to do this in the S6 is to individually go to each contact and set a custom notification and set my default to the siren. I have over 800 contacts, so this would take forever! I also used to use an app called Alirmer before I got the S4, because I did not have the capability with the Droid Bionic, but for some reason this app does not operate correctly on the S6. Please Help Galaxy S6.
 
I have the same issue with my Note 5. I found the group notifications very helpful with my S4. I am thinking with no reply since July, there is not fix for this in the new phones? Have you learned anything new?
