Make iPhone ring/repeat Gmail label notification

    I work on call, and to save me having to constantly monitor an inbox, I am trying to make my iPhone ring or repeat a notification for Gmail, but only a specific label.

    On Android there is the option to set ring tones (rather than short notification sounds) for labels, but unfortunately there is no such option on IOS. I have installed Boxer, and although I can set it to only alert me to a specific gmail label, it will not let me set a long ringtone, only single notifications - without a repeat option.

    Is there anyway to do this? I basically want my iPhone to make noise until I have looked at the email, from a specific Gmail label only.

    You can’t do it from the iOS settings, and I don’t see any way to do it on the Gmail app either. Have you looked at IFTTT? It can only make phone calls to US numbers but there might be some other way.
