The Presidential Emergency Alert test today

I got the test alert on my cell phone this afternoon, but I was at work where I keep my volume muted so I of course didn't hear it. I have smart notifications activated for certain phone apps to alert me on my 935, but in Connect I don't see any way to add the app that produces the emergency alert to the smart notifications going to the watch. Would be nice to get emergency alerts on my watch even when my phone is muted like I get other notifications. Am I missing something or is this not possible?
  • I don't believe it's possible to get those messages through Garmin Connect today, and probably isn't easy or possible for Garmin to implement either - the Amber/Presidential/etc alert messages aren't treated the same as app notifications - they're effectively from the phone firmware, not an app, and don't have the normal access options that, say, whatsapp notifications would. (This is also why you usually can't review previous alerts on the phone once the initial notification has been dismissed)
  • I got the alert on my 935 too, but I pressed clear. When I looked at my iPhone, the message was gone.
